Few friends of mine have done this swap. 216 and 235, used 1938 bell housing(truck bell housing also may work) and 38 crossmember at back and kept original floor shift trans. Another guy had to modify the rear of pan a bit for clearance. Need a bell housing that bolts to what ever trans you will use. Id also use an engine with the 216 style water pump or you can purchase an adaptor to fit 216 water pump on later 235. Hope this helps Best of luck Here's a T-5 trans adapted to 46 pickup bellhsg, engine 261.
