Hi First Lets see some pics of your 51!!!! There is several threads on here about this. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337673&highlight=v8+swap http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323950&highlight=v8+swap http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=311200&highlight=v8+swap And you can find many more in the search Also pm me and I can send you some mag articles, and some other helpful info, on the swap Shadetree
Ditto what shadetree shared and I would add looking up Chassis Engineering, they have V8 swap kits. So does Speedway.
what part of Holland are you in? I just put a v8 in my 53. I can give you pointers if need be, and donor cars to shop for if they are available there. My step dad took us to visit his family in Holland, in and around Castricum/ Noordwijkerhout. Coolest part was Nieuwleusen, the Ten Kate Racing headquarters. Not the coffee shops,
