Haven't got started so don't know...will I have to take off the bellhouseing that is on the eng. with the PG and just bolt it up to the one in the truck...also is the eng. the same in a car and truck? Thanks Virg

Just use ALL the trans/bellhousing stuff off the truck, may need to ad a 'pilot bushing' in the end of crankshaft. BTW that old powerglide wouldn't make a good boat anchor.
