Looking at a 1953 GMC 270 motor/clutch as a candidate for a '32 Chevy transplant. The motor has the bell attached but I'm not sure of the transmission mounting bolt pattern. I have a Saginaw 4 speed in the corner of the shop I could use. Would it mount up YES/NO if not, what GM 4 or 5 speed could I use?
Thanks in advance

The GMC engine may be a little to long for a 32. A 235 is a doable swap, even with the stock running gear.
