I have the opportunity to purchase a 37 truck 216 cheap. 207 parts for a rebuild a almost non existent..216 parts are more available. Is a 207 to 216 swap doable and somewhat easy For a truck or is it a can of worms??? Hainscou

A 207 bellhousing will not mount up to a 216 or 235. Also you will need to make new front and rear motor mounts. If you pm me I can send you a YouTube video, that shows you how a guy swap a 207 to a 216 on a 34. This is how I learned how to do it
