I have a 53' pickup that originally had a 235. It was dropped off at a local shop by my father and unfortunately was ultimately taken when the guy skipped town.
I have a 250 that came out of a 70 el camino that I'm going to use. However, the mounting is undoubtedly different. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the 250 into the original frame rails of the 53. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you wanted to go back to a 235, i have one out of a 55-ish.. Location is relative of course..
