Considering a Pontiac OHC 6 as a donor/update engine for my newly acquired 1937 Pontiac 4 dr. A rod thru the block ended its Flathead 6's life. Its open double-drive shaft suggest it is amenable to an inline 6/T5 combo? Have a potential donor Chev 250 6 but the OHC Pontiac "Sprint" would sure look good. I suspect the initial engine purchase of the SOHC Pontiac 6 and rebuild costs would far exceed that of the 250 Chev costs? Any comments on pitfalls or things to look for in buying a Pontiac OHC 6 engine? I'm not looking for performance, just driveability and aesthetics for my "survivor" Pontiac.
