_MAYBE_

You trusk has a 235 or a 216 ? they do interchance but some minor fiddles to do .

Why change unless your engine is dead or junk as the car 216 and truck 216 is the same , same for 235's ~ truck and car are pretty much the same .

Trannys will bolt up no problem .

Some trucks have slightly larger diameter clutches than cars but often a car will turn up with a truck flywheel and a 11" clutch...
