I can't remember after all these years whether it was
a crank or bellhousing question, but when I needed a
230 foy mt '56 Savoy 20-odd years ago I had to make
sure I got one out of a car with the same tranny (in
my case a Powerflite). If the crank is the issue,
you're probably OK. I'm almost 99% positive the block
out of a '53-'54 Plymouth with Hy-Drive won't
interchange regardless, as the engine and tranny
shared the same oil on these (an oil change took
something like 11 quarts!).
