51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

[Atommik]

I just got the engine/trans I bought, dropped off at my work. We had a really heavy duty steel cart laying around the shop so I "borrowed" it temporarily and mounted the engine and tranny to it. Now I can move it around as a single unit. The engine is a 327/ 250 horse from a 68 Chevy truck, Currently has a 4 bbl Edelbrock carb...probably will keep it as is. It's pretty dirty and greasy so I will post a few pics after it's cleaned up a little, hopefully tomorrow. Trans is a TH350.

Also, fit the doors on my cab this weekend. Everything lines up really well. I will need to do a couple of minor tweeks, I'll take care of those when I do the rust repair on the cab corners, and filler neck hole. What are everyone's opinons on welding up the rear cab seam...Worth the effort??
