Re: [oletrucks] Bolting a stock 1950's bell housing to a V-8

["Donald Short" <web22bki@gte.net>]

Hi Joe,

I have a 283 in my 51 3100 bolted to the stock 4 speed trans. The bell
housing is from a V-8 truck made after they started putting V-8's in them.
This bell housing is a must because of the mounting ears for the trans.
mount. My crossmember was not altered, but I do not know if the mounting
holes are the same. I know the whoever installed the V-8 used bolts and
nuts.
Hope this helps
