I'm considering to use a sbc from a 68 Impala with a 350 transmission in my 54 Customline, but I'm not sure what modifications to do. Anyone done this? Any tips will be helpfull... :drool:

Hi,
First thing the 54-56 ford chassis needs a front sump oil pan . use a 62-66 chevy ll oil pan, use the chevy ll oil pump and pickup as well. Motor mounts from a 66 chevy pick up truck, (a little work will be needed on the bolt holes in the cross member.) Use a 64 chevelle trans mount. Then you have the 6 to 12 v conversion to do, radio, fuel gage, lights, one wire alt, speedometer.
Good luck,
Rich
