I have a 218 from a 1950 Plymouth. I would like to replace the crank and rods with a 230 crank and rods. Then I need to mount this engine to my existing bell housing and flywheel from a 1939 Plymouth P8 201CI. Then install an R7 OD trans into the bell housing. In an earlier thread Don Choates mentioned where Mopar came out with a Fluid drive trans which required a 'beefier' mounting flange on the crankshaft. So I am guessing this means the crankshaft meant for the fluid drive would not work. Can anyone tell me how I can make certain I get the crankshaft I need? I looked at PowerWagons and although they are expensive at $550 I feel like they would send the one I need to mount my existing flywheel and bell housing from my 39. However if I should come across one else where, how do I know it will fit the existing flywheel in my 39? But I guess first of all, does anyone see any issues with using a 218 from a 1950 Plymouth, installing a 230 crank and rods, mating this to a 1939 201 bell housing and flywheel, then installing an R7 trans on the back? Flywheel? Clutch and Pressure plate? Throwout bearing? Pilot bushing?
