I have a 1961 225 with a 4-speed in a dodge pickup.
Would a 225 out of a 1968 Dart match up to the tranny?
If not, are there any adaptors?
Thanks!

The bolt pattern is the same so the engine to bell will "bolt-up" but...
1968 was the "cut-over" year where the crankshaft rear hub size changed, it got bigger.

If the 68 engine has the larger crank hub, you will have to find the matching flywheel or have the center hole in you current flywheel, machined larger to fit the 68 crank.
Everything else will be OK.
