If you're diving into a build with a classic 1947-1959 Chevrolet or GMC pick-up, you know the heart of that beast is crucial. That's where Brothers' engine and transmission kit comes into play. This isn't just a random collection of parts; it's specifically designed for swapping in a small or big block Chevrolet engine and transmission combo, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to breathe new life into their ride.
Whether you're working with a 1/2 ton or a 1-ton truck, this kit fits right into the original frame rails. You can drop in any Chevy engine from the 265 all the way up to the 454, paired with a tailshaft mount transmission like the TH-350, TH-400, TH-700R4, 4L60E, or 4L80E. So, whether you're building a daily driver or a street monster, this kit has you covered.
The crossmembers are built tough with heavy wall tube construction. I’ve seen plenty of kits out there, but these mounts are high-quality pieces that would look right at home on the trickiest trucks in town. And if you’re planning to push some serious horsepower, I’d recommend welding the crossmember ends to the frame for extra strength. Trust me, it’s worth the extra effort.
What’s in the box? You get everything you need: an engine crossmember, a transmission crossmember, engine mounting pads, and a transmission mounting pad. It’s a complete package that makes the swap process smoother, so you can focus more on the fun parts of your build.
As for fitment, this kit is compatible with a range of models, including the Chevrolet 1500 from 1954, various 3B, 3C, 3D, and 3E models from 1959, and even the Fleetline and Fleetmaster from 1948-1952. If you’ve got a Chevrolet Sedan Delivery from 1955-1957 or any truck from 1948-1959, this kit is ready to help you get that engine in place.
So, if you’re ready to take your classic truck to the next level, this Brothers engine/transmission kit is a no-brainer. It’s built for performance and durability, and it’s got the pedigree to back it up.
