hi guys i was woundering if anyone could steer me into the right direction. I want to put a 253,308,351 V8 into my 60 series. where do i shop or does anyone have a conversion kit for sale. and what roughly will it cost me ???

It will generally cost twice what you budget.
Personally I would go with the 351, anything under the best part of 6 litres will not be worthwhile in such a heavy truck.

CRS are probably the best place to start for conversion gear.

Cheers

I've got a marks adaptors kit for a 351 clevo to cruiser manual, have been trying to get it out of the shed for ages.

I thought marks were all GMH or GM?

Their bellhousings are good gear too.

I brought it about 4 years ago (give or take) So don't know if they still do. Only thing missing is the instructions. Shouldn't be to hard to get them.

Any idea which cruiser manual it is for, as in model #
