The 33-34 B engines have a different front timing gear cover, crank pulley, water pump, and front motor mount from 32 B's. These parts make the front of the motor shorter to clear the rear sloping radiator. But that's not all!
33-34 B equipped cars (and pickups) have a shorter torque tube and drive shaft. (1 5/8 inches). The transmission mount outer ring is reversed so that the mount ears move foreword, allowing the transmission to move rearward 1 5/8".
The hole in the transmission cover will need to be altered also.
I'm sure there's more, but that should give pause for thought.
