I'm putting a 351C in my 59. Can you please post more pictures of your motor mounts and the other things that are swap related?

Interesting read for sure. I just posted in the "let's see your truck right now" thread pics of the '56 Panel that I sold and then bought it back after 17 years.

Glad you got it back to where it belongs. Looks like you have a good helper!

Motor looks great! Cool to see a few other people going with these 335-series rather than the standard small block or big block.

Get some stock, but halogen headlights. The spider eyes ruin the looks of an F100, or anything else they're installed in.
