older hemi advice

[36DodgeRam]

I put a '54 Chrysler 331 in my '36 Dodge pickup when the flathead started knocking about 10 years ago.  Best thing I ever did to this truck.

Thanks guys.

.  The more I dig into the hemi, the more expensive it sounds. 

    I found a 67 belvy 4dr for cheap that I think I could use the 273 and trans and even the rear end out of for my 48. I think I'm gonna jump on that for now. The motor ran well when parked about 8 years ago. Sounds like the rear end is one of the closest fits to the 48 as well.

    I may have to open a new thread for advice with the 67 Belvy.

You can always go back to the Hemi later and adapt it to the 1967 Transmission.  Hopefully it is a 727.  Let us know....
