Here is some old info I had saved:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
[oletrucks] v-8 swap '51 chev p/u 

I have a '53 3100 with a small block in it. The original steering box
can be used if: 

*Use rams horn exhaust manifolds 

*Take the drivers side and cut the flange off, weld in a 6 inch
extension tube to move the flange closer to the road (away from the
frame). You will now have 1/4 inch clearance for the steering box up
into the arch of the ramshorn manifolds and 1/4 inch clearance on the
fuel pump.

oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
