i have a 1949 buick sedanette and it has a straight eight with the 3 on the tree. im only 19 so i dont know much and i dont have anyone to help on this, its a solo project i guess. i want to put a bigger engine, small block 350, or possibly a 1970 caddi 500 with an auto tranny. im just looking for some suggestions on what would be a good/compatable engine and tranny to swap and how i would go about getting all the adaptions for it to work. ill be doing EVERYTHING myself because a i have empty pockets and i will learn what i have to on the way, but i just need help getting started. ..any and ALL tips are much appriciated. -riley
