    That late 80's belly button motor should have had a 200R4 or 700-4R bolted to it from the factory. I'd go with that if it's available to you.

    One of the club members has a 56 Chevy station wagon. Had a 350, pulled it and put in a straight six. The car gets much more "traffic" now. Everybody has a SBC!
     
  8. in my opinion nothing wrong with the six... or the v8.
