Re: NEW TO SITE! Engine swap questions
Im in the middle of the same conversion on two trucks. One is a 63 stepside getting a 427 and one is a 63 fleetside getting a 348 1st gen big block. One is an auto and one is a manual, so I have figured out a lot of the issues and this forum can answer most of the questions and concerns you have with the swap. I believe most are auto's, but if any questions on the manual swap, let me know. I also converted to a hydraulic clutch as CaptainFab mentioned. Was not a bad conversion if you choose to go that route.
Only difference in my build is the engine will be in the rear mounting location being a manual, and hydraulic clutch. Most guys also opt for a SWP system and I went LWP, but again I'm using the rear mounting locations.
