Need pics of engine swap M215

[APM215]

Does anyone have pics of a engine and tranny swap on a M215?

I'm thinking of doing this and just need some ideas.

Any help would be great!

215 engine swap

The wifey bought me a new digi cam for Fathers day,so i thought i would try it out while i was at the shop this morning. I took the original 302 and trans out of my 56 M135 and replaced it with a 353 Detroit deisel.I cut the engine and driveline out of a 72 Ford one ton van (Frito Lay truck) and grafted it into my M135. Not that hard of a job to do if you have a welder handy. I also converted to hydraulic clutch and hydro boost brakes from a 85 GMC five ton truck

Thanks Bill that's just what I was looking for.
Looks GRATE are those 353s hard to find and expensive?

spare 353 engine

There were two Frito Lay trucks ,I got the engine from one,and the other remains complete. I can wheel and deal with the old boy that owns them and get the other engine and driveline complete if you like. The clock in the truck shows 47,000 miles and the price is somewhere in the 1500 range. I could put it on the company truck and deliver if it was close

My wife is giving me a funny look right now. I think it means she likes the idea?
