Re: Putting 235 back in Sub-framed '54?

What year is the 235? If its 58 and newer is should have side engine mount lugs. A quick measurement will tell if the engine will fit without hitting the firewall. If not it will just take some fabrication. If they kept the second crossmember then you can use a early bellhousing to support the back. If not then you will need to run a transmission that has a mount on it. I don't think it would be that hard, just some planning.
