My old 216 finally bought the farm(she blew up). I am going to swap it out for a mid seventies 250. Any ideas on short cuts or problem areas. It is going in a 1948 2 ton.
Thanks,

You can also search these forums as this swap has been discussed, and done a lot. Good luck!!

The early V8 bell housing works on a 54 crossmember. Water pump/fan will be tight fit but will work, and be a little low on the radiator. Someone makes custom motor mounts, do a search, topic has been well covered. I'm putting a 250 in my 54 3100. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 79 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 79 | Thanks everyone. The swap is forthcoming. I think I have the details worked out. See my latest post in the Big Bolts forum.
Thanks JMH | | |
