My BW35 tranny died on my 74/144 and needs replacing. Would like to update to a BW55 if Possible. Is bell housing interchangable, I know that input shafts are identical for B20's & B21's thru 1978. Are there any adjustments to the drive shaft. I have also found that some 76 cars w/ B21's had BW35's. If anyone has done this swap or knows of someonelet me know. I quess my real question is can you put a BW55 into a 144 (i.e. B20 motor).
