I am swapping a 54 235 for my 216. Is it ok to use the 4spd tranny from the 216? I was looking at a 53 3spd with overdrive,but that would require 12 volt conversion.

Use the 216 bellhousing, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. this is a very common swap. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 | Just curious, but why would a 53 3spd/OD require 12 volts? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | The solenoid on the overdrive is 12v. | | |
