Patrick (http://www.teambuick.com/forums/member.php?21834-plasmacutter94) could not seem to post in this section so I cut and pasted his PM here for him:
"I just purchased a 57-60 364 and I want to slip it into my '48 chevy 2-door sedan.
I was curious if anyone else had experience or had seen or could share images of such a combination. I also need to solve the tranny problem economically, so am open to suggestion, thought the 65-66 st400 sounds like the most economical, if I can find one.
It has a flex plate, but no ring gear or starter, and frankly, I haven't seen it in person. I bought it for $104.50 on ebay, with the thought that at worst, I could part it out if it was a boat anchor.
I'm in med school, so my timeframe is longterm, and I do random searches now and again as a break from studying. That's how I found this motor so close to home for what I think is a decent price.
Any feedback would be appreciated,
Btw, I come by my interest honestly; my dad has had railheads in his '57 chevy b210 wagon and 32 ford since the '60s.
Thanks
Patrick"
