Small block in a '53
Will a small block fit in a '53 with the stock steering column and steering box using either stock exhaust manifolds or block hugger headers?

Re: Small block in a '53
Small block will fit, but you will need to shim the steering box out
away from the motor a little. I dont remember exactly how far, maybe .75 inch. |

Re: Small block in a '53
I got a '54 with a 350 sbc and cast iron headers with MII front and an 70's steering column:
 Not sure if this helps though.
