Hi, Dave, thanks for responding. What I originally intended to do, was to swap the crank from my broken 61 318 into the 65 318, but the bolt patterns on the back of the blocks are different. The 61 I pulled out of the car myself, the 65 came out of a 65 Coronet. The valve covers, water pumps, oilpans, etc. are interchangeable. My transmission is a torqueflite[cast iron] with separate aluminum bellhousing. The bellhousing just will not boltup to the 65 block. I have actually located an engine and transmission locally, so it is not a critical problem, but I hate unanswered questions, you know? Thanks again, Dan K. |
