homer41 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I have found a 218 T-142 dodge truck engine and was wanting to know if this would be a direct bolt in replacement in my 41 plymouth sedan. Will it bolt up directly to my transmission/bellhousing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) It should be a bolt in so long as you use your car's front mount and bell housing Just check starter/ ring gear which can be an issue with the 230. If both engines use the 4 bolt flywheel then there should be no problem at all. I replaced a 201 in my 35 PJ with a 218 without any problems. Use the 218 intake manifold as it will likely have a larger carb. flange. Edited May 22, 2017 by dpollo clarification 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
