Restoring a 52 ford with GM drivetrain, need HELP
Hey guys... My father-in-law has a '52 Ford with a V8 flathead that doesnt run. He wants to put a SBC drivetrain (I figure this is better than FORD) in it and bring the truck back to life. The truck is 2wd and we'd like a V8 with decent power, reliability and somewhat decent MPG. I'm thinking a 350 SBC with a 700R4 (would be NICE to have OD)... Which year 350's/700R4 should I look for? Which to avoid? Should we consider other engines? I'd love to put a PONTIAC in it, but they are so damn expensive... Suggestions appreciated. Thanks...
