I have a 49 chevy 3100 that came with the original 216 with 3 speed on the column. Since then I have dropped in a 235 with short water pump but used the bell housing off of the 216 and the 3 speed. The 235 came with a 3 speed that bolted to a cross member and will not bolt up to this bell housing. I was told the guts are the same... Now my issue is I have lost 3 gear. Can anyone tell me what my options are using what I have along with the enclosed drive shaft and stock rear end?
