Is it possible to swap either the starter nose gears or the ring gears between flywheels? I want to keep the big clutch because I am putting some gofast stuff on the 261 eventually. Doesn't putting the 216 water neck on the 261 ruin the recirculate capability of the 261's thermostat? It has an extra hose between the thermostat housing and the water pump to circulate water all the time even when the stat is closed. Or do I just swap the top part between the top of the housing and the hose?
I have some extra us made motor mounts to put on so that is no problem.
