I just picked a very nice 272 out of a 56 truck, and was wondering what changes I will need to make to put it in my tired 54 mainline,
Will the front motor mount on my 239 mate up with the 272 block?, will the other motor mounts match up . it looks like I will need to change water pumps this one has a high mounted remote pulley, also there is a strange looking vent or something on the rear of the valley pan ,what is that for ? should I just use my old valley pan? what can I swap onto this 272 from my 239 or do I need to start looking for 55/56 components.
