The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Tradel Bishop AV8 question on a 30 -31 body

Frame is already set up with a 59ab , 39 trans and a 40 rear with the torque tube already done. It was done using all the information from the tardel Bishop book

Car was never finished. The guy who ownes it now asked me to take the flathead out and replace it with a 265 chevy and keep everything else. 30/31 body is still stock.

Was interested if anyone swapped a chevy with the chassis set up as i mentioned.

Was interested knowing if its as simple as swapping it or other issues. 265 has the short pump. Its a simple swap in a 40 ford and even easier in a 41 to 48. Model A wasnt sure about the firewall
