more Flathead questions
OK, I went and bought a 47 in-line six.
It is the engine, and driveline but no rear end. There is a torque tube.
I bought it basically for the drive line and I couldn't turn it down.
My question, the bell housing is cast, Will the bell housing, Flywheel, clutch, and tranny work with an H series in-line six?
The transmission is a three speed Side loader

Yes. Mostly when it comes time to change the clutch or do tranny work, you have to remove the rear axle. Mostly it's a matter of having a completely different rear suspension and frame. Parts are expensive for them, too.
I assume the driveline and engine are out of a car? You can change the trans to be like our trucks' (open driveline) by changing the main shaft and rear bearing retainer.

Is there a thin plate that bolts onto the back of the bellhousing, between that and the trans? What closes the hole over the starter drive? I think the G bellhousing differs from the H in that respect.

the '47 bellhousing is now mounted on the '49 engine.
the '47 trans has a cast in cover that closes the back of the bellhousing.
