Well I got me an ol' 53 Willy's pickup with a snow plow this last fall because I was in need of a plow truck and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy a Willy's. After this long winter the and all the snow... the little old 4 cylinder isn't doing so hot... its got a cylinder in the grave and the starter is in pieces. So I'm thinking of upgrading to a bigger engine.
I bought a transmission adapter for a pretty 65 5 bolt pattern Ford small block at a swap meet. . I'd really Like to put 260 or a 289 in it but all the ones I keep finding are out of cars with automatic transmissions... I'm a welding and not much of a mechanic. I don't know what you have to do to swap out all the parts between the engine and transmission... would really appreciate some help from anyone who knows what the heck they are doin
