    55 Chevy 6 cyl. to v8 conversion

     



    Hi all, does anyone know of a kit for sale that would facilitate this swap? I am sure this has been done thousands of times and I feel like someone has put together a kit that includes everything needed. It would sure save a lot of work if it were so. I am planning on installing a crate engine with a turbo 350 tranny in place of the 6 cylinder automatic (67k original miles!).

    Thanks in advance!

    Bart
