Im trying to make it work in my 1937 Chevy Town Sedan. Im looking for help getting the right flywheel, pressure plate, clutch and bellhousing set up to allow it to bolt up to my 1937 3 Speed transmission. Any help would be much appreciated.

I might have a bell housing for you (and I'm also in Michigan--where exactly are you at?) I pulled an early 235 from a truck and put it in my '46 Aerosedan, so had to change the bell housing. I wound up buying two car transmission bell housings because I needed the motor mount brackets too... anyway, if the '37 tranny bolt pattern is the same as 41-48, then we can discuss. I'll be in touch.

There is a difference in fork pivot position from 1938 when the ball bearing design came in.
You need a 1938-39 passenger car bellhousing and clutch fork.
Chevrolet went from 3/8” bolts holding the flywheel on to 7/16” in 1942, you need a 1942-54 flywheel, if using a 6 volt starter, or a 1955-62 flywheel, if using a 12 volt starter.
