Re: Bellhousing question
It will bolt to the crossmember the same, but it depends on which engine the '61 bellhousing was originally bolted to. If it was bolted to a 235, then it will not bolt to any other engine. And the same if it was bolted to the GMC V6. If it was bolted to a 230, 283, or 327 then it will bolt to any other I6 or GenI small block or Mark IV or V big block.
Another thing to consider is that the '61 bellhousing would be setup for a hydraulic clutch.
