The 'key' to swapping a later six into one of these pre 1937 Chevs is the bellhousing & crossmember, needs some attention to accept the later stuff. On the plus side, the '35 motor is an inch + longer than the 235s or GMCs, can't have to much room.

Some years back Inliner Ian Reid did an article in a mag titled Mechanicx Illustrated, detailing all the tips for this swap, I'll try to find it and sent it via snail mail. I've heard through the Inliners grapevine that Ian is working on an updated article re. such matters, how long this will take to get into print, who knows.

You could always rip out the stock crossmembers and use the streetrod repop unit.

Also I've seen a 1930 Chev with a 1938 bellhousing and crossmember narrowed to fit, looked like factory. Better solution would be something that would accept a bellhousing that would work with the later trans. And yes, many of these have been modifed over the years for the later motors.
