Thanks for the pics, I'm sure they will be of help. I'm a "new generation" mechanic and have lots of experience with fuel injection, looking forward to trying this out. That's kind of the theme of the build, old and new combined. The pickup will have a few other things along those lines. My goal is appearing old with modern functionality.

Does anyone have experiences with crankshafts from Crankshaft Supply? Found this

and thought it may be the easier route vs trying to find a 250, pull the crank, hope its good, etc...

Is the non-tapped 1.250 neck a problem with the 230 swap, or is that the way the 230 is?
