I know nothing of head design but would think pads for drilling and installation of injectors would be a good idea.

Is there a real performance improvement with a cross-flow design? That would...

Here's the modified bellhousing. Notice how much that tranny hole has to be hogged out? That's a lot. If you look closely, at the 12 o'clock position, you'll see the new hole actually breaks through...

The V8 tranny spoken of is a Ford T5, but the bellhousing still has to be reworked for the tranny. Its just that an adapter is not neccessary. The original bellhousing can be opened up (tranny hole)...

To clarify, it has been pointed out to me that the adapter is not always neccessary. True. The T5 came in a variety of models depending on make and engine it was used on. Ford and Chevy both used...

Life got in the way so the project was delayed. I am now back to work on it. I am finishing the frame and suspension (grinding, painting etc). Everything is apart so I will get some more pics and...

i have a T5 on my 263. Haven't driven it yet as the truck is still being built.

'95 mustang V6 tranny, throwout bearing (release fork slightly modified) and pilot bearing. Buick flywheel, Jeep...

Is this the one you are talking about?

If so, that is my engine. My brother made the adapter. I could get you more info and pics if you would like.

After talking to my brother, I realized we had drilled two new holes into the bellhousing for the adapter to bolt on. The two inner holes near the top of the bellhousing. We drilled those holes...

I bought this engine last fall for my hotrod project. Was told by the owner's widow that he bought it as a running engine for a project he, unfortunately, didn't get to complete. Had no chance to...

The Jeep pressure plate bolted right on. The engine is a 1950 263. The pressure plate is for a 1989 Cherokee with the 4.0 and 5speed. The Jeep 5 speed is the Asin-Warner AX15 and that clutch disc...

Here's the "car".

Here's the T5 installed on the engine.

Ok, I'll get out to the shop (its 60 miles away) this weekend and take some pics and some measurements.

Any interest in photos and info on the install? It's all apart right now so getting photos and measurements will be easy for now.

I used the original 1950 flywheel, bellhousing and clutch fork....

Is there a more modern replacement for the old fuel pump? I won't be needing the vacuum pump section. Hoping to find something more available. If not, any recommendations where to have the old one...

On my 263, I have a T5. I had the hole in the bellhopusing hogged out, had an adapter plate made from steel fabricated, heated the fork of the clutch bearing lever and spread them apart to fit the...

Here's were the engine is.

In progress.

We did set the supercharger on the intake just to get a look at things. The charger will be...

Looks great GH!

We likely won't get the charger mounted this summer. The vehicle is still a long way from roadworthy. I would want to rebuild the engine ('50 263) for this thing. My engine is a...

Looks like a '32 Henway.

Lookie what I got! Muhahahahahaha...

Brother over in Bremerton WA sent me...

The supercharger is on the way and should arrive tomorrow (Friday the 10th).

I'm using an Eaton M90 because it is free. This probably won't get done this summer, more likely it'll be one of this...

Anyone have any info or experience about supercharging the Buick?

I am getting an Eaton and am wondering about using it on the 263. Seems to me, keeping the boost modest would perk it up, look...

Edit: its a 263. Brain fart.

It does have the raised ring around the pressure plate.

I'm off today and going to check the local machine shops and hear what they have to say about doing the...

1950 268 with a manual flywheel.

How can the flywheel be resurfaced? With that raised ring around the pressure plate, I can't see how. Does it need to be done on a lathe? Can that raised area be...

I have an engine that has not been run in a long time. Planning to start it up in a few weeks. Would like to pre-oil the engine.

So, can I use a drill in the distributor hole?
