You also need to be aware that the starter is mounted to the bellhousing on the 265 and early 283 engines. There were no provisions to bolt the starter directly to the engine. Therefore you will need a special adaptor plate to use the later transmissions. They can be purchased from several aftermarket sources but will add to the cost of the conversion. You also will need to modify the driveshaft, install an oil cooler, and install a rear crossmember.
