Can a chevy motor be bolted up to a ford transmission? or do I have to change all the running gear? This would be going into a 1949 ford f2 if that makes a difference. Any help would be great.
If my memory is right the top two bolt holes match up and you have to drill new holes for the bottom bolts. You will also need to check the id of the hole in the Chevy bellhousing against the od of the bearing support on the Ford trans. That and the right combination of clutch parts. I'm not sure about the lengths of the input shafts either but you may have to deal with that and the match up on the pilot bushing. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
find a chevy 3spd and save yourself major headaches. if i were closer i could set you up. hell find a automatic and bolt it up as that 250 will accept all the gm autos.
well i have a 3 speed, but I just wanted to make sure it wasnt easier to bolt the chevy to the ford. you guys answered my question thank you very much
If the Chev 3 speed is a full syncro you will be pretty happy with it in there. I've had one in my 48 Chev pickup since 1989 and really like it. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
Well I picked the motor and ****** up together, but the bell housing was off and the flywheel looks to be an auto also missing is the clutch plate. however the trans looks like a stick. Is there any way to tell if it is a 3 speed with syncro?
4 bolt side cover makes it an early style Muncie 3 speed, NOT full synchro, 7 bolt side cover makes it a full synchro Saginaw 3 speed, although there is a rare full synchro Muncie with a 7 bolt side cover also. These are all Chev/G.M. transmissions. Butch/56sedandelivery.
49 f-2 S/B the same as a 39 topload, and 250 chev S/B the same as a SBC right?? so sbc adapter to a 39 topload should work right?? or am i missing something??
