I see in another post you mentioned you put a 265 in a 50 which I am about to do in a 50 Suburban. Did the crank clear or did you have to cut more of the frame? I want to use the 3 speed overdrive and wonder if the flywheel from the original 6 and bell housing will work in the 265. I appreciate the chance to learn from you. Thanks

Thank you for the advice. I did look at Don's and it looks like the frame on the 50 already has enough cut away but I will find out soon as I go to mock it up. The 265 is a donor from a 53 Chrysler with the pedal. I was thinking I'd have the machine shop when the motor is being set up to drill that flywheel to set up for the clutch. Also have them machine it for a pilot bearing. I will post pictures as I move forward. First Mopar I've ever done so I have a lot to learn.

The crankshaft will accept the usual pilot bushing. It is not the 4 holes which is the issue, but the distance to the ring gear from the starter flange. Why not contact me directly at dnpollock@shaw.ca ?
