Hi im 17 and i have an 81 c10 ive fixed up. However, my dad and i want to restore his 46 chevy pickup from the frame up. I know its not 47-55, but i was wondering if you guys new any good websites for me to check out. We want to put IFS in it so that it can be my daily driver, i was wondering if it just bolts in nice and easy or do u have to weld it in? also, has anybody ever "built" a 235, we kinda wanna hop up the 6 just to do something a little different than anyone else. if anybody knows good sites where i can learn about either one, id greatly appreciate it. thanks

You know, if you are going to put an IFS in the 46, you might as well upgrade to a V-8. You will already have the motor mounts attached when you install the new suspension. As far as bolt in or welding, take measurements first. Your 81 would bolt into a 47-55 but im not sure about a 46. But anything is possible with a big sledge hammer :> Keep us updated

I have to agree on the IFS. If you're going to do that, you might as well drop in a V8. There are quite a few IFS systems (bolt on and weld in). This should keep you reading for a bit.....

If you're still set on the 235, I've got an intake and a carb you might be interested in. Check my site below for pics.
Good luck!!
Oh, and welcome to the board!
