1948 Buick Roadmaster 320 Cubic Inch Dynaflow Question

[fatgladiator]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this to but I am having a hard time finding answers to a couple questions I have.

The first question is what kind of standard shift flywheel if any will fit a 1948 Buick Roadmaster 320 Cubic Inch Dynaflow automatic transmission engine.
My second question is which pilot bushings would I use if I wanted to put this engine into a 1937 Buick Century.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I put a 52 Roadmaster engine in a 1937. Bobker Bearings had a pilot bearing in a 2-3" retainer. Bring dimension of your crankshaft opening to any bearing supplier.

Fortbud.......I guess the Roadmaster engine came out of a Dynaflow equipped car ?? Is so......it seems to me that the crankshaft hub and/or the flywheel would have to be modified in order to work with a manual transmission ??

If your engine came from a Dynaflow equipped, then you would need a pilot bearing to fit into the crankshaft. A good bearing place may be able to help. Oyherwise, instead of machining the crank you can make a soft metal insert with center drilled for a standard pilot bearing.
