What V-8 Engine will fit a 1960 frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My friend Justin Newbury has a 1960 Chevy with a 235 S-6, becasue the engine blew a head gasket and upon inspection of the piston show them to be 0.060 over already, he felt it would be worth changing to a V-8.

He had a 283 and a source for a 396 big block, but have heard that headers ae hard to fit in, but is unsure what would fit the frame of his truck.

Can anyone with exp. please drop a note to the BB and give me some giudance for him to go by?

He CPU is dead and it would be a while before he can get on the net, so he asked me to see what info I can find for him.

Thanks
Jake
