This was posted on the general forum but I thought I might get a better response here,
Was wanting to gather input on suitable (conversion) engines for my 52 commander.
My questions to start would be:
Front sump or rear sump oil pan?
Will a 454 fit without cutting out the firewall.
What are some choices that you made and why?
I have a 454 block bored .030 over and would like to use it but not if I will have major problems making it fit, don't mind altering the inside of the 51 fenders I'm using but plan to have all my other stuff work such as the factory heater, defroster, windshield wipers.
With the hood closed I want my car to look like a 50 model version of the prototype 51 2 door hard top on Dan Branch's website and plan to go all 50 model including dash, tail lights, and interior.
Was also wondering if a 50 steering wheel would fit on my 52 steering col. ?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
