LAS VEGAS DAVE Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I bought this 263 engine from Mark. If anyone needs the DYNAFLOW transmission from it let me know. Also I now need a standard transmission bell housing for a 263 motor, please cal me if you have one. 702 592 8052 Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Dave, seems like there has been a discussion of something different about the crankshafts of a dynaflow equipped engine and one with a manual transmission. I could be wrong. Just thought you might want to check into this.. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janousek Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Tom isn't wrong. I don't know the exact differences but was going to replace my 248 with a 262 that I have but read they are different. I read it over on the performance straight 8 forum. I have both engines but my 262 has a dynaflow on it and I've never gotten around to pull it and check it with my 248. Flywheels are made everyday though, it just might cost a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Dave, I`ll be calling a man I know in Los Angeles later this morning then will post what I find out. I assume you`re planning to use your `37 trans/bell-housing/clutch original to your car if possible. I know you`ll have to change the dyna-flow crankshaft to a manual equipped crankshaft.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 A standard transmission uses a throw out bearing. The Dynaflow crank does not have one. I believe it can be machined for one. Also have read of adapters . Also, I believe the flywheel/ crank bolt pattern is different. Have read this is fixable by re drilling flywheel. Good buy, Dave.

Ben Ben, are you referring to the pilot bearing that fits into the back end of the crankshaft, not the throw-out bearing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pont35cpe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Dave, I just talked to the most knowledgeable Buick person I know, he presently lives in Los Angeles, but is moving to your neck of the woods, Pahrump, NV., and bringing all his Buick stuff with him. He states that to put the 263 in your `37 you`ll use your front mount and your bell-housing for a direct bolt in. You`ll have to use your intake manifold with the 4bolt 263 carb, which will be modified by drilling a center hole between the two rear mount holes to mount it on your the three bolt manifold. Dyna-flow crankshaft will either have to be changed to a manual type, or like Ben mentioned machined for a pilot bearing. You will also have to use a 263 flywheel which has a larger clutch to handle the horsepower, also the 263 starter. He really brags about the 263 and how much more power it has over the 248. He said he has everything you`ll need to make the transition. He and his wife are going to Pahrump this weekend to close on the property he`s buying. I told him I`d let you have his name and number if you`re interested, I know it would be best for you to talk to him, he may become your "new best friend". He`s 75 yr old and has been working on Buicks since he was a kid, and can rattle off Buick stuff faster than you can comprehend.. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
