350 in a '51 Chevy truck...

[fastchevy49]

Does anyone make a bolt-in kit to put a 350 chevy motor in a 1951 chevy 1 ton truck? Don't have access to a welder right now and I would like to start shopping around for a motor for it.
Thanks, Russell

Speedway is always a good place to start. They have this one that works on frames up to 38" wide & either bolts in or welds in.

My buddy did one and used a wheel barrel pan to recess his firewall. I looks really nice.

been curious about this

Been looking to buy a 47-53 chevy for a while now. Been looking for something that already has a 350 in it, but was curious what all needed to be done to accomodate the 350 in case i can't find one that already has one. Do you HAVE to recess the firewall? Engine mounts? Anything extremely difficult for a "beginner" to get into?

Might wanna try 'Chevys of the 40's'. If they don't have it I bet they can point you in the right direction.
