Projects 250 chevy motor ?

can i use a pedal start and trans from a 47 chevy car on a 250 for a motor for the late 60's ??

 

Pedal start, unlikely. Trans? Well, if you drive like a grandmother, maybe. You can break one with the stock 216 without trying too hard.

 

No you can't.

 

Not easy to hook up to a 250. A 235 or 261 is much easier and looks more "right" too. Plus the starter will fit.

 

The 47 bell housing will not bolt up to a 250 eng and the push starter won't work on a later model starter. I just removed a 250 from my 48.

 

so whats your saying is a 261 motor is the same as a 235

 

i have a 235 motor in my 47 but i would like to keep the pedal start





and i was planing on getting a spare motor but it was a 250 motor and i have a trans that's open drive out of a 61 chevy Biscayne





so i need to find a 261 chevy motor them to keep it pedal start

 

You're going to want to look at the heavy trucks for a 261.

 

A 261 is the same length as your 235. A 250 is about 1-1/2 inches longer and might cause radiator interference problems. Pedal start on a 250 would be a real pain although the 250 should bolt to the transmission you show. A 261 will work without moving the radiator andkeep your starter setup. If you don't mind moving the radiator you can use a GMC 270 or GMC 302 and keep your pedal start.
