The Offenhauser adapter from Ford block to Chev transmission shown above is still available, at least at http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ofy-5272 and likely other sources. They seem to be aiming at people who own an early Ford and want to put a more modern Chev bolt pattern transmission behind the flathead. There is also a 5174 part # as well as the 5272, I have no idea which (if any) better fits the Chev transmission in the CMPs.
Has anyone seen a modern source for the front mount plate shown? I'm not in a rush to do it, just curious if the parts are still "off-the-shelf". The next obvious question would be radiator and mountings, then how it would fit in the CMP cab since the Chev doghouse/engine cover was narrower than the Ford when I last measured.

Back in 1976 , I spotted a Blitz in an old wrecking yard at Laurel Hill, NSW . It had been re - engined with a straight 8 cyl. side valve motor . Cannot recall the make of the motor . Mike

I remember one about 40 miles from here with a 350 chev, and an auto.
I just remembered the truck was a Ford (F30?) as I collected V8 engine bits from him.
