knuckleharley Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Guys,I'm drawing a blank. What is a 301? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 If this engine is in your Plymouth Plaza then the bell housing used in a six cylinder 57 to 59 may also fit the V 8. You can tell by the bolt circle on the bell housing . Any way you look at it, this installation is going to be a challenge unless you have access to a standard shift car for all the necessary parts.

wayfarer Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 The Plymouth A series 301 is a one-year only engine and NOT to be confused with the one-year only Chrysler Spitfire 301. Yes, some bellhousings have a 'dual' bellhousing pattern; L6 and V8. It is fairly obvious when you see it. As mentioned, you will be needing a small truck-load of specific manual shift parts if you intend to duplicate an oem set-up. In the FWIW department, the noted bellhousing is a good candidate for the A-833 swap. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 My exposure to these bells would cause me to think that 1955 is a bit early....but never say 'never' when dealing with MaMopar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
