looks to me like the wrong system was used....tall block mounts, plus the thick channel iron probably add an unnecessary 3 inches height to the front of that motor....check out pictures of custom built s10 v8 mounts....they are really low profile.....If your moving it back you might get away...

I'll get you the number in the morning.....I made the swap to an 8.8 in my 56 chevy truck....have a spare conversion u-joint in the garage

looks great!! I love the old chevy's, way more work, but that's why you don't see em everywhere!

Thanks all for the welcome.....started a thread on my coupe build.....I have a thread on my truck build on a couple of other sites....I can give you guys the photobucket link if you wanna check it out

Hey Hi Everyone.....been watching a lot of builds on here for a little while now. Thought it might be appropriate to introduce myself and my rides. I started a build thread on my newest. I'm Terry, from Sask, Canada. Been a car guy all my life, built a lot of cruisers and street cars. Love...

had the 241 in the truck.....still smoked the tires...so half the weight, it should be ok.....hope so anyway

Thanks....trucks painted plum crazy purple now...and different rims...wider tires This pic was last year....more Rat rod appropriate...LOL

The plan is to keep the front of the frame and box it...Fab a new 2x3 frame from the firewall back. Box the front ( I love the front suspension). Powertrain will be a 400 small block with a turbo 350( same as my truck) Here's a sneak peek

Now for a bunch of adjusting, lowering and bracing to get the stance I'd like it at least 6 inches lower, will tackle some of that next week

Now to see if it will somewhat fit on the chassis And channelled it down over the frame....Looks like it will work out!

That brings us to last week, mounted in a Camaro posi.....241 gears (car will be light enough I'm sure And swapped on some later model drums to make it roll around

About a month ago I picked up this pile of parts, for a 28 chevy sedan, including the chassis That engine still turns over but at 28 hp, I don't think I'll be using it....LOL

I know this sounds like a messed up combination, but I got this body for a really decent price last Fall Front half is I believe a 29 Desoto, rear is a 31 chevy 3 window
