I Have a bastard engine here of indetermintate origin or contents. 65-68
110 case. Wrapped in early sheet metal. Has Early 102 heads. The thing
is it is complete, and it starts and runs great. So I am going to throw
it in my 63 Convertible that needs an engine. I am not certain about
transaxle though. The one that came out of the car, along with the engine
is solid rust from sitting open for years. So I have a 61 transaxle four
speed that appears good. The engine has a early 60-63 flywheel on it.
Dont really want to dig into the engine to find if it has a late crank or
not in there. Should everyting bolt up? I know late engines and 66+
trannys and automatics, never dealt with an early standard though! Car
was a four speed, and has 4 speed crossmember etc, so that sould be ok.
Anything to watch out for? Should everything line up if it has the early
flywheel/flexplate etc, and correct input shaft for the tranny?
