This may help: no matter what year engine, 216,235 261; keep everything from bell housing back together, the 49 bellhousing, flywheel, starter(works great with 12v), foot linkage, do not combine with any of the late motor's trany/clutch parts. ie, my 46 pickup, has 46 bellhousing, flywheel clutch, starter etc but the entire engine is a 1961 261, been great for 30 years.
