Re: 57 Chevy Truck
If you are keeping the stick transmission that is in the truck you will need a cast iron V8 bellhousing and V8 flywheel and a pilot bushing.
V8 swaps using a small block Chev V8 used to be so common on these trucks that guy could drive one in the shop in the morning with the six and drive it out finished with the V8 in the afternoon if they had all the needed pieces on hand.
If the truck runs now, taking it and pressure washing the engine compartment and anything you can reach to get grease, oil and dirt off speeds the job up a lot if you want to do a quick turn around on it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
