HELP! That ****ed engine swapp! - 06/13/04 02:20 PM
Bolts right in!
Thats what they say. Yeah right!
Here is what I have:
1959 235 engine
1941 bellhousing, flywheel, tranny
Yesterday I found out that in 1959 they used wider bolts to bolt the flywheel on the crank shaft. O.K. redrilled the 1941 flywheel no big problem so far.
Today I wanted to bolt on the 41 tranny. It seems that the input shaft is about an 1/4 inch to long. (Of course it is not but it wont slipp in all the way)
Than I checked the old engine. There is a roller bearing instead of the later bushing. But same size.
Still have no clue why it is not going all the way in. It stoppes about a 1/4 inch before the tranny and the bellhousing surfaces mate.
Im about to take a torch and burn the whole thing down.
Any ideas please?
Thanks, Frank
