'53 GMC factory automatic compatibility question...

[MrTucker]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway...


I have a 1953 GMC that is all orginal with a 228 straight 6, with a Hydramatic auto tranny. Both ran when the truck was put into storage. Check out the link in my sig for the full story.


My question is what (if any) other engines will bolt up to this tranny? Specifically, will a 235 bolt up? There's one down the street from me that's been freshly rebuilt and painted for next to nothing.

I plan on doing an S10 swap, 350/700R4 swap - but I'm curious and cant find the answer....
