Thanks for the info Tx! For some reason, I'm usually under the impression the truck is going from an I6 and 3sp to a v-8 700R4 auto. When I did my truck, with the mounts moved forward, I had to have my driveshaft shortened a good bit. I see that if your sticking with the same tranny its worth the distributor hassle to keep the same lines/driveshaft/shift linkage etc.... very informative thread!

Close...
it was a 6cylinder 250 with a 4speed granny - removable hump floor (must have been a special request or something)

going to a V-8/700R4
If i can't find a good running V-8 soon i might put the six back in it with the 700R4 who knows i'm crazy enough to do something like that.
i already know that i have to have a driveshaft made cause the stock on had a u-joint on each and and did not have the yoke on the tranny (i.e. Big M.F'n 4 speed)

heck my buddy had a 318 Mopar with 22k orginal milles that he was going to give me to put in the truck, but after a couple of days of thinking about it i said..."if i ever want to sell it, it won't be worth anything"
besides that's just wrong....not as bad as putting a Ford in there though??? just kidding....chevy guys put chevy's in everything so i guess a ford guy can put a ford in whatever he wants...
