Hi everyone...I have a 1940 S.D., suicide doors, 216 6-cyl, 3 on the column. I think I want to convert it over to a small block chevy, 4-speed automatic trans, etc, etc. What Im wondering is how big a project is this? I know it has to be converted over to a 12-v electrical system, but what about mounting the motor, trans, rear-end? Can I use the orig. frame? Will the motor/trans/rear mount up without too much trouble? I have moderate fab. skills, but I do know when something is out of my league and have to farm it out. Any info, tips, tricks, video links, write ups, book recommendations, any of that is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
