I BELIEVE it was a s/6 170 with three on the treeBilly, what was the original engine?
I am wanting something that I can drive fairly often, a cruiser. I've been leaning towards the 318/74rh setup. I've already been looking at brake upgrades and rear end upgrade(currently 7 1/4). Add A/C under dash so I dont have to molest the dash.
ThanksWelcome to FABO. There's lots of early A owners here to help you along. Nice 270 you have!
I've been reading all I can find about 318 tranny swap and I know I can do it. I've done 5.3 ls into a 65 chevy pickup and did almost all the work myself, wiring (harness truck and engine), complete frame off with mid 70's cross member and etc. Its just a process I know that.Welcome! from SE Texas. LOTS of read on here bout what it takes to change over from slant to SB la or magnum.
