My totally stock and restored '51 Belair with 216 engine, 3 on the tree and 4:11's is in need of a transplant. I have a '61 235 with the needed upgrades in oiling and an additonal 40 HP but am open to suggestions.

It has been 50 years since I tore into a Chevy. My forte has been Model A Fords (also an inline). I need some mentoring on how to progress.

It has to be KISS (keep it simple)and suitable for looong touring.

Thanks,
