I can't wait to see what you end up with...should be cool
Yep, I'm counting on oil pan, adapter plates, new bellhousing, etc. I'm going to be keeping my current transmission so I'll scoot the engine forward/back as necessary to keep the driveshaft.

The radiator is iffy, but I'm sure I can make my current one work with a few mods for the steam bleeds and the like.

I will probably have to change to a hydraulic clutch while I'm at it.

Lots more research to do before making a decision. Right now effort & money still favors a rebuild of what I have now. It would be a no-brainer if I could find a smokin' deal on a lightly used Little-M.
