    Talking Fitting a 350 in a 51 chevy truck

     



    Will I have a problem fitting a 350 in my 51 chevy pickup. I plan on using a radiator fan with the original radiator, and swing petal brake with auto trans shifter in the floor.
    It would be one less thing to have to consider when I put the body back on to check clearances etc.

    exhaust system may be a problem but I think block huggers will work Its close at the steering column. Measure before making mtr. mts. I think the one I left the stock frame under I had to move the engine over toward the drivers side. The radiator should do just fine.
