As far as a specific question goes, most of the time it is best to start a new thread for that question rather than sticking it on the tail end of your older thread or one a thread that someone else asked pretty well the same question. Thing is,your question gets lost both ways, A lot of guys on any board don't read through a thread before posting an answer. They comment on your original post and go on to the next thread, Same as tacking it on someone else's question, Guys answer the old question again but miss yours. Asking a question on a build thread that is specific to the build works though.

A 55 TF pickup with a 350/350 is pretty simple in the long run. You do need side mounts on the engine but there are several ways to do those including the universal tube crossmember under the engine that can be paired with a matching crossmember under the transmisson. Pretty simple and easy to set up and not that spendy.
Thank you for the helpful hints. I have to figure some things out, like distance between the firewall and distributor. And distance between radiator and fan. Going in for a knee replacement on Tuesday the 11th, so will be a bit and then will start a build thread.
