Thanks Thanks for the ideas Skull

I am using a mini starter. Just cut the firewall yesterday.

more pics Mocking up 360 install. Clearance issues with starter.

Question about steering issues Are the steering issues a result of lowering the front or from the 318 oil pan? I am putting in a 360 and want to know what issues I may face. Knowing the oil pan position is opposite of the stock flathead pan.

Too much body work I'd like to fix anyway.

Considering selling engine and trans I'm considering selling my flathead 6 and transmission with all the pedals linkage etc. anyone know what they might be worth?

The engine is in great shape.

Moving ahead Got the front off the truck.

Power plant I finally decided to update my 52 with a small block 360 and 4 speed. Just got this low mileage 360 and trans. Yesterday. I might be considering selling the original running flathead 6 and 4 speed.

Saw this online.

As for the patina probably not keeping it as it isn't original paint anyway. The only sizable rust was in the floorboard. It is amazingly solid.

More pics Inside finally. Glad it's out of the weather.

Will need to pull the 86 out when I'm doing serious work on it. Wish I had more room but what guy ever has enough shop area?

In the garage Got her inside
