i need a cluch and flywheel for the 273. does the 360 bell fit.
The 360 bell will fit the 273, use the 10.5 flywheel (130 tooth) as said by MOPAROFFICIAL.Are you saying the 360 bell will not fit a 65 273 eng.
.
I have that bellhousing in my 66 with no issues or mods. I did buy the Brewers Z bar kit and it works flawlessly.Use a flywheel from a later 318/340
Which is a 10.5 flywheel that's neutral balance.
360/340/318 bellhousing will work fine with a 273. What year car is another story.. wont fit in a 66 or earlier.
360 flywheels will not work, they are external balance.
Why will it not work with a 66?Use a flywheel from a later 318/340

I assumed , because it wouldn't fit in a 64.Why will it not work with a 66?
Firewall is the same 64 to 66 so I dont know why it would not fit yours. I have the original motor mounts. Do you have aftermarket mounts that place the engine higher?I assumed , because it wouldn't fit in a 64.
There were changes in 66, we have a 66 valiant at the shop in prather even, but I never noticed the firewall change. Thanks.
Thanks.It will fit

I agree but the one year only is just the skins she has the same bones.Thanks.
My brother was all ready to cut a little with his 318/4spd conversation from 3 on the tree. He'll be happy to know. He isnt the type to test fit.lol The 66 a body was one I stayed away from. It kinda grew on me after a while. Just sucks with being one year only on trim n $uch. Lol
Yeah, 727s definitely require some attention from a BFH in the tunnel...727 didnt fit and no, stock 273 mounts from the yard.
I have read that on the 727 but not yet on the 10.5 bellhousing.I have read somewhere about beating flat the pinch weld
Not necessarily- if the 273 was originally paired to an automatic transmission, it's crank may not be drilled for a pilot bushing. You need to check.So it should be good with the right pilot bushing.
That could be- I've noticed a similar trend in the old LAs I've had apart... didn't know if I was just that lucky or what. But it only takes a minute to look and be sure, regardless. Because with early LAs you can't fudge it and use the late model roller bearing in the convertor bore for your pilot- they've got the goofy early small convertor hub...Luckily every 273 crank I've come across has been drilled for a pilot bushing.
Hey everyone.. would you all say that the 1960's cranks were all drilled while the 70's n up were a crap shoot? Cause that seems to be the trend with what I've taken apart.
I've never seen one that wasn't drilled for a pilot bushing, and most have had the pilot bushing in them also. Stick or auto....didn't matter. Most 318/340 cranks are the same way....360's are a crap shoot!Luckily every 273 crank I've come across has been drilled for a pilot bushing.

I really don't want to open this can of worms....but if the 360 bellhousing that you are referring to is a truck 360 bellhousing for a 143 tooth flywheel/11"clutch then you might have interference issues plus the starter will be protruding out farther into an area that is already tight. Also this bellhousing has the pattern for an A230 3 spd but not for an A833.Are you saying the 360 bell will not fit a 65 273 eng.
