having to replace transmission and driveline?
I really could use your expertise. What year engine should I get?
Thanks for your help

Your bellhousing will bolt to all 216, 235, 261 and GMCs. Big thing to watch out for is, don't attempt to mix years of starters and flywheels, different teeth one early years vs later. Also you may have to use your original front motor mounting plate behind the timing gears, it will fit your new 235.
