There are lots of SBOs out there that would shoe in with so little effort. I bet there are chevy guys that would give you a fair price for your small block chevy and you coulg get an SBO and then you are on your way...
Don't forget that the coolant lines for the tranny will probably not fit either without modification
OOH! Didn't think about that one.

He said it was a V6 originally. Correct me if I'm wrong here, guys, but swapping V6 to an SBO (if the transmission is still good) will require only new frame perches for the motor...right?

THAT sounds a LOT easier!
