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 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.

It's out of a 1982 with a 4spd box. I have the cruiser bellhousing as well. As I have gone to an auto. hope that is what you were after. there is a number on the cruiser housing I will have a look and get back to you
