54 chevy on an s-10 chasis?

any of yall know if thatll werk? or am i better off just doing the front clip,, and if thats the case,, yall got any tips?, i aint never done this before,, thnx

 

Shall we assume from the "AD" that this is a pickup? If so, there's plenty of threads regarding this very subject. Go to www.ad-engineering.com for a kit to do the complete frame swap. Chevs of the 40s makes a bolt-on front crossmember for mounting the Mustang II stuff.

A search here didn't find it but the good old google search did.

 

I wouldn't personally spend the money on these mounts, but check out this site for info on the swap-http://www.ad-engineering.com. The swap is easy, you should get a short bed, long bed chassis, and the truck will fit perfectly.

 

Try the tech archive.

 

Clark's tech is very infomative and if you can find it on here also has picture's of what he's explaining.
It IS in the tech achives, but not under his name because at the time he user name wasn't Clark..
I bought a 52 last year on an S-10 frame already, but had to redo
everything and used his advice to do it.
It's NOT hard if you have basic fab skill's and a good 220 welder..And MUCH cheaper than any kit out there..
I probably have less than 100$ invested in the steel to make all the mount's.

naw,naw, its a 2 door belair,, imma look up on thems tips, thnx brotheren

 

well now, that's a whole different situation then
Just a quick question, what's wrong with the stock front end, OR are you doing major drivetrain mods and simply looking for better stopping/steering?
I only ask because i have a 53 belair myself with stock, but lowered suspension and alway's thought it drove pretty good..And it's been driven a lot and out on the highway etc...

I will admit, i've looking into the bolt in front mustang II set up offered through the aftermarket companies. Not a bad deal and seemed pretty easy compared to a front clip.

If the frame its on is not screwed up beyond repair, I'd just fix up the old frame.

 

Thanks for the sources I hadnt seen those before and I'm gathering parts to do my swap on a 51 5 window. Great Information
