Monte is from
Central Oklahoma and is looking for his old truck. Sounds like he had
it setup pretty nice. If anyone has seen the "Lemon Twist" please
contact Monte at the link below. Here's a quote from him on his wild
ride.
"I've only recently found your
excellent site...This is my ride in 1971 and I would like you to include it
in your "Gallery" mostly in hope that the "now" owner (if it's still around
) might find it. Forgive the quality of the picture it is a picture of
a picture.
In 1970 I got tired of hogging around in the underpowered flat head 6
continental and dropped a 327 Chevy v8 in it's place...did you know that a
Chevy 265 283 or 327 with the proper adaptor plate will go into place and
with the use of a Corvette motor mount of that era and the engine will bolt
up to the original motor mounts (just add 1 1/2" spacers) I like to fell
over it was the easiest transplant I've ever been involved with ...behind
the transfer case I added a Studebaker overdrive (bolts right up (with a
shortened shaft. trust me this baby would fly! The first time I
dropped the hammer on this baby (in four wheel drive on dirt) I twisted both
drive shafts off...(had to beef em up to handle the v8) after that she
became a climbing fool."
