    I'm working away on my '32 pickup.........

    I have a 265 out of a '55 sedan.
    I have the trans adapter bellhousing with clutch and pp attached to a '35 top loader.

    Here's what I ran into.......

    The clutch ears and high spots are s****ing the trans bellhousing?
    Did a little grinding to make it clear the housing.

    Anyone else with this combo have a similar issue?

    Did you grind the clutch or bell housing?.....Hopefully not the clutch as that messes with the balance of it

    Thanks.
    Yes, we are aware of this. We had to do a little of both. Fortunately, it is a low hp motor and we were careful to do equal to all arms. It wasn't anything major.
    Just didn't know if this was a common problem with this type of conversion.
