My father gave me two 400 bb engines and one trans. Will I twist the original frame of a 1952 dodge truck if I put the 400 on her. I have found a duster rear end for her but I need to know if she could handle the power. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

 

IMO the rear gears will handle lots of power. i talked to a guy that took a late 50s dodge PU. and cut the front frame off and put a early 70s PU front on. to get an independent front syspintion. and a motor mount holes for a small block or BB. search the internet. do keep the old parts. good trade material. and take pics will love to see the build.
