Hello, First off Joe H is the man on this and is always there to lend his expertise. I built my 46 around the stock bellhousing and crossmember, pedals etc , this way I could easily swap 216, 235 or 261, easy bolt in. With an adapter got me to the T-5 to open drive with 66 Chev pickup rear and 6 bolt to keep the artillery wheels. I could go on, bottom line your truck is a beauty. Have fun!
I replied to Joe's post before I saw yours. Interesting you used the stock bell housing, but what I don't know is if I could use mine the way you did since mine is a 207, which I don't believe is in the 216/235 family. This is the one bad thing about the '36. So much changed going into '37 and beyond in terms of parts compatibility.
