Question Original driveline - What to do..

Hey guys- looking for some input here. I scored a stellar deal on a 57 panel truck that had been parked since ‘81. I was really hoping I could get the original 235 going again. But it is stucker than stuck and I’m going to have to swap it.

I just don’t want to send the motor to the metal man. It also has the original dual range hydramatic. Is there a market for this stuff? I’m not trying to make a mint on any of it. I’d just rather somebody get use out of it than go to scrap.

That said, I’ve been looking at a 292 swap, but only if I’d be able to retain the front corner mounts. I know I’d have to do something for the rear, but if I can avoid aftermarket side mounts, I’d prefer the look. Does anyone know if the 292’s have provisions for the front corner mount brackets? If not, I’ll probably SBC or LS it, but mainly I’m looking to see if anyone has an avenue I can upcycle this original equipment. Thanks!
