hey thanks greg, Iam sure I will find out soon I hope

 

What happened to your '54 Chevy?

 

the 54 was stolen, the only good part was I had not finished it yet so I did not loose that much. but I lost enough to piss me off

 

I have a little mag from like 57 or 58 that shows that swap. Lemme go flip thru em, BRB.

Found it. August 1956 Car Craft. Pretty interesting, actually. State of the art 1956 technology. Let me know if you want me to scan it.

 

Thanks Fraz, If you could scan it, that would be great, Ive heard it would work but when I started looking at it I started changing my mind on it.

 

hmmm i dunno if the y block wil fit for sure but i know a 302 would my buddy is puttin a 302 in his 50 so umm yeah.

 

K. Give me a little bit to get it scanned. You have high speed internet? Can email them to you.

 

thanks fraz, I do have high speed, and my email address is hotrodchev54@yahoo.com and again thank you for your help.
