[Oletrucks] possible engine swap

[mark]

only bolt-up will be 216/235/261 get a GMC bellhousing for same year as truck
and get a 228/248/270/302-superior motors!

if you are willing to do some frame crossmembers then my personal choice for
an inliner is a 250 chevy from 63? to 198x with an automatic 700R4

you can also bolt any GM trans to the motor with a post 1955 bellhousing.

Hi guys,
  HAPPY NEW YEAR to start with...

Got a guy with a 52 with a worn out 55-235 engine and wanting to replace the
engine with as little hassle as possible and upgrade to a more modern 6
cylinder. Anyone have an idea what might be an easy swap or what engines can
he use and still keep the original tranny?  Anybody replaced the entire
engine/tranny with a more modern 6 cylinder engine?
