I put Patricks 3.55 in my '49 GMC with the stock 228. Well, with the mods I made the 228, it is not stock any more. I was going to go with the saginaw tranny conversion too. I may be a while before I get her back on the road to see how the modifications suit me...she is a work in progress.
But other than swapping out the rearend, re-gearing it is not all that difficult.
