In my father's garage we have a 327 out of a 67 pick up.
I was wondering if this would fit in my 55 and if anybody knows whether it will bolt up to the original four speed in my 55?
The four speed is original with the ultra low first gear. It was rebuilt last year and it would be a shame to have to exchange it for the 67 automatic.
Would my I6 bellhaousing,flywheel and 11"clutch work on the 327?

Flywheel will not work but clutch/pressure plate will.

55-57 passenger also had mounts on the bell housing so they could be adapted easily.

As others have stated your 235 bell will not fit a V8 but any 63 or later 194/230/250/292 bell will bolt-up to the V8. The truck bells described in the tech tip will mount to your crossmember same as the 235. The front/side engine mounts are different, but as others stated there are crossmembers/mount kits for that.
