I have a '56 322 in need of a rebuild that has all of the components to install a 3-4-5 speed behind it. But, I'm picking up a '58 364 engine that is probably nearly good to go (or very close). Being a nubie to nailheads, I have three questions: 1 - what 3-4-5 speed parts off of the 322 will work for the 364? I know the intermediate bellhousing will not work .... 2 - any other 322 parts work on the 364? Starter? Distributor? I'm thinking that's a pretty short list ... 3 - The clutch setup I have is an 11" - pretty heavy duty I would think. If the flywheel is usable, could it be drilled for a 10" clutch setup, say similar to a flathead Ford mated to an S10 T5 trans? Thanks ...
