Re: 53 Chevy SBC to Stock tranny

That is cast iron V8 truck bellhousing 55 to early 60's.

The stock crossmember can be used but you have to modify it a bit so the motor mounts on the V8 bellhousing will sit down on it right. With the 54 crossmember you just bolt it on. My 48 had a rather hack job modification done to it when I bought it with the 194 and V8 bellhousing in it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
