FIVE-SPEED FOR AN EARLY HEMI
My grandfather gave me the engine he kept out of his old 1953 Chrysler when he learned I was rebuilding my 1958 De Soto into a cruiser. The engine is a 331-cu.in. hemi with an extended bellhousing, and I want to put a modern five-speed transmission behind it. Before I start looking for a donor transmission or a new one, is this something that can be accomplished without having to manufacture an adapter for the 331 block that will accept a stock T-5 or an aftermarket Tremec? I will also need the correct flywheel and a clutch
