Thanks guys. Prolly saved me from doing alot of unecessary work.
Is there an advantage to this? The 8BA is a 49 truck flattie and yes it is a 24 bolt. Thanks.
I'll be putting a 49 f1 box in mine this week. I'll let ya know how it goes.
Thanks guys! I'll hook it up in the morning. Then mock up the motor.
Can I interchange a 50' ford bellhousing to a 49' 8ba truck flattie? I wanna use the 3 speed overdrive.
Thanks for all of the input. When I picked up the shoebox flattie the guy had a bunch of stuff in his trunk he gave me. One being a pair of Merc...
I'm building a 34' p/u. I have 2 flatties: one is a 50 out of a shoebox, the other is a 49' out of a truck. Which has more potential? Thanks.
Wow, I feel like a complete idiot. I forgot I took 2 springs out. Thanks all for the input, I like Rustrodder's suggestion. I think I'll do that.

Thanks, that's a lot of info. Good to know that it's doable.
