If I remember correctly JP Magazine did a piece on dropping a GM 350 *a small block Chevy is a small block Chevy* into one of these trucks. I'll see If I have any of my old issues left laying around. You may be able to find it online too.

thats a nice looking truck you should try to restore it

Novak Enterprises make the adapter to mount the Chevy bellhousing to the stock T-98 trans. If you use the auto trans, you have to fabricate a little jack shaft to go from the trans to the x-fer case. Stock motor mount location works ok.

Summer session + army truck overhaul = F in class. Ask me how I know.

All depends on how mechanically inclined you are...
...& what tools you can borrow from school...
...and how much sleep you are willing to skip...
...and if you have a solid supply of Red Bull, Top Ramen, Hot Pockets, and (of course) BEER!


Heck, you are college guys.... staying up all hours and working up against an unrealistic deadline should be 2nd nature by now!

GO FOR IT!
