The mounts for the bell housing to frame are at an angle VS the ones I have for my 51 and 52 trucks. can I just swutch them out and is the one for the 54 at an angle? I am thinking maybe it came out of a Car??

You must use the earlier bell housing to put a '54 engine in a pre'54 truck. Excellent choice of engine too since it won't need water pump alterations like later 235s do. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 | I am hoping it works. its so clean and oil looks good also been converted to 12 volt. Can I take off the bell housing without removing the clutch? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | No, the clutch and flywheel must be removed to access a couple of bolts. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 | thats what I thought thanks | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 | well you can but it means that you have to disassemble the whole motor. I had to because on my motor because it was stuck and almost a 235 boat anchor. Cletis gave you the correct answer which is No unless you can not rotate the motor to remove the clutch.
