Hell it might even be a good deal if they are also swapping out the trans(if I remember correctly, the original trans wouldn't be able to handle the power/torque of the 235).
he is completely changing the brakes to disk brakes also a different tranny a three speed the my friends want a vintage type street rod he is all about that technology myself i would stick a 283 into the 30 he has i believe the 235 cameout of a 62 chevy truck i will start to know as i start on my wagon
