hello,
I'm a newbie here and thought that I could gleen some wisdom from all of you. I also have a question, or two...
I have a '54 Chevy 1/2 ton pick up that I want to swap a '67 vintage 250 six into.
The 250 was originally a powerglide motor, but I wish to run my S-10 5 speed behind it.
I got an early V8 bellhousing that has the mounting tabs on the sides and the removed the lower part of the starter mounts in order for the bellhousing to bolt up to the 250 with the 250's original starter in place. Then I obtained a flywhell (of unknown origin, I think it's a SBC). the Flywhell measures approx. 14 1/4" in diameter but my 250 flex plate measures 12 7/8". So now the flywhell hits the starter on the 250. Also, the bellhousing is 1/2" shallower than the original 235's bellhousing and I'm thinking that this will be a problem for my already modified 5 speed.
Do you have ideas of what I need to get to make thing swap work as far as the right flywheel and bellhousing?
I have already built a front motor mount to meet the original front mount for the 235. I know I will run into more fabrication when it comes to throttle linkage, too.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
