    engine?

     



    Hey guys

    This fall I would like to build a chassis for a 32 ford high boy. I am having a hard time deciding what engine to use. A ford or chevy. My pocket book tells me a 350SBC. My heart tells me a 302 or 351 small block ford. Can anybody tell me what I have to do to use a Ford 302 or 351? I know a sbc is pretty much just a drop in for a prewar Ford but I am not sure what needs to be done to make a Ford engine fit.

    A short water pump from Snow White will give you a little more room at the front of the Ford for radiator/fan options....
