I would be more concerned about if the motor in the 51 is strong enough. A 216 is pretty small. If it's a long-haul, you also might consider installing a transmission cooler (radiator). I had problems going from Anaheim, CA, to Redding, CA (560 miles), with a 52 chevy; that had a 6 cyl. in it. Anyone else is free to comment on this; as you may not have any trouble. It might have been my truck to blame.
