sweptline budget buildHi all

Another option would be to use the truck slant to v8 adapter bell housing, that way you could easily add the v8 later and use your slant for now. It's a factory plate that adapts the v8 bell housing to the slant engine, and moved the starter in the slant position. My 82 slant ram with the np435 had it, but my uncle's 65 with a three speed did too. I don't think that od 833 trucks had it, they just used the car bell housing. I personally don't know how hard to find or expensive they are, but it may save you from building an engine right now.
