A 74 will have a cast crank. You will have to get a special pilot and also cut 
the input shaft shorter. The flywheel will have to be balanced for a cast crank. 
The crossmember will have to be modified for the later trans. Pedals and linkage 
will need to be purchased as well as a 10 1/2' flywheel bellhousing. The floor 
will have to be cut and a new shifter tunnel welded in. New 1962-1965 shift 
linkage will be needed. $$$$$$$$$$$$

I have a friend that is putting a 74  440 in his 65 Belvedere,,,,,, it  
came with a 727 on it but he wants to go with a 4-speed,,,,, as I remember most 
of the cranks were not drilled for the pilot, but you could get around 
that with  a undersize bushing, does this sound correct, and if so what is the 
undersized  bushing part number or who has them, also he needs a flywheel 
for it, and from  what I am seeing there are several that will fit, but does 
not sound like  balance is the same on all of them, any input would be  
appreciated,,,    Roger
