Question
i own a 1959 chevy with a straight 6 cylinder in it. I am planning to pull the engine and am wondering if a small block 350 chevy motor will fit the current motor mounts, and its probably a good idea or maby i have to switch from a generator to a alternator.A lot work involved?

HI  well as far as the motor, you  should get a motor swap kit, ( jc whitney.com) has them, you will have to get diff. motor mounts. and if you wish to make it into a stick from a auto than you will have to get the foot clutch pedel welded in. and you can also get a kit to switch the alt. from a gen. not that much $ $$
