I want to install it in the factory position so when I go to car shows etc. people wont know that it was a original 6 cylinder. I do want to purchase from you all that you can supply me for this project. As far as the engine that I am putting in it will probably be a 350 small block crate engine from Jegs. I under stand I need the engine to have the 2 piece rear main seal so I can bolt my fly wheel and clutch assembly and bell housing to it that I'm taking off my 6 cylinder. If I'm incorrect or if you can steer me straight I'd really appreciate it. As far as I understand this is what I need besides small things like hoses etc.,
I need the small block manual cross member to mount under the bell housing since the frame changes when I move forward,
I need the perches for the small block 350 since the are different on my 6 cylinder.
I need the clutch motor bracket and ball socket to mount to the 350 as well as any thing in that arrangement that I cant reuse from my 6 cylinder.
Ill need the longer one piece drive shaft to reach the transmission, I guess what I have read the new position is about 3-1/2" forward, distance moved from the 6 Cylinder to the small block V8 position.
Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,
The only thing I cannot help you with here is the drive line. The original drive line is a 2 piece and is specific for 3 speed trucks with a V8. You may want to look into having a dreiveline made if you want to stick with a one piece.
What I do have is the correct V8 transmission cross member, the small block engine stands (with bolts) and the clutch motor bracket and ball socket (on the engine side) Not sure if the 6 cyl and small block clutch rod from the pedal and to the throw out fork are the same but I can look into it. Most of my bell crank parts are grouped from the truck they were removed from so there is no confusion on mis matched parts.
For what I have mentioned, you will be at about $200.00 shipped. If you give me your zip code, I can get you a exact price.
I just sold this basic set up not but 3 weeks ago so I am familiar with what you need.
Let me know,
Thomas
