Help!
I am new to the ford truck world.(I am a shop foreman at a GM dealer).
I have a 56 F500 that I am planning on using as a tow/recovery truck.
Has anyone dropped in a small block chev/4 spd in one of these things?
Two biggest things are will the stock steering clear, and is there a way to install power steering?
Any help would be great!!
thanks

Hi gt,
Unfortunately, the discussion of non-Ford powerplants on FTE is not allowed by the FTE bylaws. I know there are a few folks on the board that have the knowledge to help you, but everyone has agreed to abide by the rules that all 100,000 FTE members have a say in establishing. You are welcome to bring this particular issue up with the webmaster if you think it should be changed.
If you'd consider using a Ford power plant, we'd be happy to tease you and provide all the information and moral support you need. This is the best bunch of gals and guys you'll ever want to meet.
