The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 1936 chevy 1/2 ton truck engine swap

Gentlemen,

I would like to adapt a 216 motor and do away with the stock 207.

I have a few questions that I am unable to find definitive answers to and hoping you can help.

1. Will a 216 accept the existing mounting positions?

2. Is a 1937 bellhousing necessary when converting to a 216 to keep the existing pedals or will the 216 mount to the 1936 bellhousing with no modifications?

3. Will any modifications be needed to the rear engine cross-member?

Thanks!
