mine was a 1956 Buick Special. Paid $75 for it. Had alot of fun with that car until the power steering went out. Made it a little harder to get around in parking lots.
Some of the head bolts go in water, too. You can use "plumbers paste", the white stuff in the little jar from Ace to coat the threads and it will fix it.
I'm putting a 318 in my '48 at the moment. I haven't got all the linkage figured out yet but what I did was to take that bottom nut on the column loose and turn the ring so my lever in the car was up in the "park position" and the ring that moves the shift rod was up as high as it could be with the engine in place. I think I should be able to bend the rods to work the shifter. The 904 trans I have has park in the back and the gears go forward. I can use the stock bellcrank to move it. I'll get some pics when I start the bending process.
