Re: 1949 Chevrolet 3100 - V8 Prototype
Out to the shop it goes, and the 235 comes out and a 350/700R4 combo goes in. Since I'm doing this, the rear axle has to be swapped out as well. Here's the conversion package: 350/700R4 combo, CPP V8 swap package (x-members, mounts), a 1955 Truck Axle, and CPPs axle swap for AD trucks (moves the axle back 1" and includes new perches/bolts). Also, you'll have to make up a driveshaft but that's not that hard really. I found that gum and rubber bands really work well.

I welded up a bracket and moved the steering box over 3" to clear the manifold. More on this later...
