Question about '48-49 dodge p/u

daliant said

The bigger dodge flathead 251" or the 230" flathead from a desoto/dodge car would probably drop right in and bolt up to the trans, anything else is going to need a different trans. You might get lucky if it turns over and non of the valves are stuck it will probably run.

Thanks.

I looked at the '48 on Thursday.........woof!, a basket case and didn't trust the owners story. Couldn't hook up with the '53 owner last night, told my wife I can reach him better on his home phone, called twice and both times busy signal, will try again this morning.
