Wondering about the mounting points also. If so, do you guys think flywheel would be the same as well ? Frank.

If a V8 then yes you can mount that bellhousing to a 70 250, but if the 57 has a 235 6-cyl then it will not... There is a good tech tip on this site about the late-6 bellhousings here . The 55.2 and later trucks are better candidates for a 230-250-292 swap than the prior years. The flywheels are different too. Good luck!! Professional Novice
