I agree there is a lot of knowledge on this forum. I've been using it heavily since joining.
Utah,
Chevy changed to a 6 bolt crank to flywheel pattern after 1938. So I opted for a 1956 I6 235 and started the reengineering. I moved from the 1937 spring pack clutch and flywheel to the 1956 flex pack clutch and the 1956 flywheel. I used the 216 bell housing for several reasons. In 1937 the brake, clutch and safety brake all bolt to the 1937 bell housing. Picture attached. I want to keep as much original as possible with the newer 235.This allows me to reuse the transmission, brake, clutch, safety brake, torque tube and rear end. now I'm in reassembly. The 235 engine and transmission are back in.
It's slow but I want it back together, so I keep working on it.
