Re: Installing a Ramjet 350 in my '65 and hit a snag with way starter mounts
If you are going to go with the aluminum bellhousing out of your 'Vette, the bellhousing crossmember in your truck needs to come out. Then you need a trans crossmember under the rear of the trans. There are aftermarket trans crossmembers available that most everyone seems to use. Myself I choose to use a factory crossmember from a '63-'87 truck with an auto trans. This will locate aprox where the e-brake crossmember is now. The e-brake will have to be dealt with in one of a couple ways. The one issue I see is that there appears to be no holes drilled and tapped in the trans mounting pad on your 3 speed. I have to ask....why don't you want to use the 4 speed that was in your 'Vette? That would make your truck a whole lot more fun to drive IMO.
