Definatly do the 350/350 combo, but as Matt said good welding is critical. Unless you are a competent welder, farm that part out. Basic steps are.....
Remove the front clip, weld in the new suspension, mock-up the motor/trans/rearend (a 55-57 CHevy rear end is a bolt in and common factory gears for this style rear (55-64) are 3.08, 3.31, 3.55 3.73 and 4.11, choose the one that suits your engine combo/driving plans). Blow it apart again and do the body/paint work.
Plan on it being a lot more time and money consuming than you expect.Last edited by Mike P; 10-05-2006 at 07:02 PM.
