junkyardjeff Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Another thrift store rescue,I had the engine that is from the 53 Chevy hardtop kit. Front axle was broken so it's getting a Camaro front suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I have a pair of Monogram '39 Chevy kits, that are waiting this exact engine swap. Any problems getting it to fit? I see you used the Automatic from the Sedan Delivery Kit. Would the other trans from the '53 have worked? Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Alan I think its supposed to be a 4 speed and was behind the big block that came with the kit,it was a easy swap and the exhaust manifold is from the Corvette kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
