Possible new project

I put a 351W and a T5 into a 59 2 years ago. The mounts are a simple bolt in for that swap. You can have the SBC ones out in about 10 min...

They're welded in, might take a little longer. And not just the mounts, the driveshaft is right and the exhaust would bolt right up. Plus a good 283 is laying under cover, don't have to buy it or pull it out. At the rate I get things done, that amounts to several days work and more money to switch back to a Ford.

I'd rather put a 390 in a Camaro though.

It was originally a 6 banger according to the data plate, and has (had?) a 3.89 gear. I might try to find the little overdrive tranny, 200R4?

A lad in Klamath Falls, OR did this and the Camero guys wouldn't talk to him.
