Quote: I checked the engine on the stand-and it has the starter space above the oil pan. That being the case, will a bell housing be able to save the day???
No, the bellhousing is part of the main case. Each 727 trans has it's own case. IE: slant six, small block, big block.The easiest way to solve the problem would be to have a crank adapter/spacer made. It is a simple piece, and shouldnt cost much. |

So does the starter position make this engine and transmission impossible to mate?? |

No. just check to see what size crank adapter is in there now. Depending on what is there, either use that one, or have a new one made, with the correct size for the crank.

Crank pocket sizing was last weeks worry. Now I don't understand where the starter is going to fit when the location for it on the rebuilt ('65) engine is 4 inches higher than it is on the engine in the truck ('76). When I found out that the 727 in the truck was from 1965, I can only guess it uses a spacer to fit the larger crank pocket. The 1965 engine was purchased locally from craigslist and could have come out of any '65 Chrysler product. I don't know how many variations they might have had for stater motor locations. |

The starter will be in the same location as it is now. The starter location is determined by the transmission. The only issue you will have is the fitment of the crank spacer/adapter to the crank pocket. It is even possible whoever put the late engine in the van, used the crank spacer/adapter for the small crank pocket (not correct but possibly done). You are going to have to take the engine out, and see what is in there for a spacer/adapter. |
