I have a first gen with a 194 in it and a 3 speed manual. About finished rebuilding the 250six in my garage does anyone know if I can hook this up directly to the 3 speed transmission or would I need a new transmission for this swap ?

The 194 and the 250 engines are the same physical size. Only the bore and stroke are different.
Yeah I was just reading some things leading me to believe the bell housings might not be compatible so I just wanted to be sure before I bought all the clutch components to finish up my build
Will be a direct bolt-in. Same bell housing. Pretty much same everything so you can use most parts from your 194 on your fresh 250.

Did exactly the same thing with my 66. Bolted togeter fine.
That’s a great thing about Chevy’s—all the transmissions fit all of the engines. For decades! I bolted up a 700R4 tranny from a Camaro from the 80s to my 250.
