Re: Replacing a '49 288" with a '53 327" 4-bbl - any problems

A bit fuzzy, but basically you have to change th front motor plate from the 288 and put it on the 327, that's where the front MM is. Remove Vib damper, Tim ch cover, sprockets, then the plate ( I think).

Anyway, it real simple.

If the 49 is stick??? and the 53 automatic, must use 49 bell hsg/flywheel etc
