Re: NEW TO SITE! Engine swap questions
Thanks guys! Knowing that I can fit a BBC in the truck is getting me really excited to get started.
60-66, what did you use to trim the top of the frame rail? Will a cut off wheel do it? I also noticed it appears that you are converting to power steering but have not plumbed it yet??? Is that from a 70's truck? Did you have to modify the shaft at all?
I am going to get the truck later this month. I'll be sure to post some photos of the progress. I'm sure glad you guys and this site are around. I'm sure I'll be blowing up the site with new questions every day! My biggest concerns are just getting the right engine, trans, and rear end combo. This will not be a daily driver, but it will certainly be a weekend warrior. I want to be able to cruise at highway/interstate speeds with ease and comfort. I plan to make it somewhat of a "rusto-mod". Bad a** engine! nice interior, modern drive components, and original as it sits exterior.
