I'm putting a 261 into a '53 1/2 ton and doing the 12V conversion at the same time. I'll use the original 216 bellhousing with the new engine but have both 6V and 12V flywheel, starters, and clutch to choose from. I realize the starters and flywheels can't be inter-mixed. However, will the later 12V flywheel and starter fit the earlier bellhousing or should I stick with the 6V parts? Both were truck foot starter types.

Thanks in Advance,
