What would it take to swap the 251 for the 230 in a '47 WDX? Does this harm the resale value of the truck since it is not a extreme conversion like a V8? Is there any modifying or anything involved or is it just drop in and bolt on? How much better is it than the 230?
I know a old junkyard that has most all this series of engines. 230, 251, a few bigger that I can't remember, spitfire, and industrial engines. I need to take a closer look at exactly what he has.
