In the 54 yr, GM changed the motor mounts and the cross member of trucks. Your tranny will still bolt on to the new bell, but the mounts won't work. If your engine is a 216 in your 48, then I dont think it will fit on a 261. I beleive that you will have to find a bell from 235. I"m not sure on this part but I do know the mounts changed.
