An Engine Swap with Hurst!

An Engine Swap with Hurst!

My dad was great about hanging onto his old car magazines and mail order items from the 50s and 60s. One gem I just pulled out of the archive was his Hurst Motor Mount catalog from 1960, complete with a car to motor conversion chart and two page spread with helpful engine swapping tips and a list of best V8 mills to use. The Buick, Cad, Chevy, Chrysler Hemi, Ford Y Block, Olds Rocket, and Pontiac V8 motors are all listed with pros and cons for each. Hurst really did a straight forward job with this literature, clearly spelling out exactly what parts are needed and how to go about planning an engine conversion for many popular cars. Alright boys, get to swapping!
