276 stroker from 35 years of parts

[38 coupe]

Looking great so far, you should end up with an excellent engine.

That 1 1/16 carburetor has the truck type top on it with the double bevel clamp area for the air cleaner. You need to run a matching air cleaner, or swap a top with a straight area for the air cleaner onto the carburetor.

Going back the picture you posted with bell housings, starter plates, and an oil pan. Please be aware that the starter plates are different between the stamped and cast bell housings. I learned you can't mix-n-match these when dad cleaned up a mis-matched set and it wouldn't go together on his 8BA.
