My project is a 1954 Plymouth Savoy. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much info on hot rodding or even rebuilding the '54 savoy. I pulled the flathead 6 which I believe measures 217.8 cid. Also, I pulled the tranny out (which are up for sale or trade). My original plan was to put a chevy 350 under the hood. But, for a number of reasons, the engine turned out to have too many problems. So my new plan is to put a 327 in there.

My question is, what is the best way to go about the swap. I feel very capable in my welding, for what it is worth. I have heard that once I get the engine built and the tranny mounted to it I can hoist it in, figure out where I want it to sit. The mark where I want my mounts to sit, then weld them in. I have also heard that I should take the front frame clip out of a car, that was manufactured the same year as the block.

I would love to get as much help as possible, as I have been looking at my car sit for the past 2 years, and she's a lot more beautifulk rollin' than sittin'. Thanx a bunch guys.
