wayfarer Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 New guy here, looking for some info. What are the differences, if any, at the rear of the various flattie blocks ? Do all of the bellhousings have the same bolt pattern ? Any info appreciated. Quote
greg g Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 I believe the blocks are all the same bolt pattern concern. Bellhousings are different depending on application. trucks are different than cars, fluid drives are diffeent that dry clutch. Also crankshafts are different. Some are 4 bolt typically plymouth w/o fluid drive, dodges have 8 bolts, for the heavier fluid drive assembly, I have one with a 6 bolt (later 230 plymouth) That about does it for the short block engines (210, 218, 230 ) The long block cars Chrysler, Desoto, and Canadian manufacture may have some different permutations but the bell housings are interchangable. Pre 35 the position of the starter was different as the engine block casting were different. So thee might be some differnces n the bell housing to reflect this change. Quote
wayfarer Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 I was hoping for some good news like this. I am putting the finishing touches on a (small block) Torqueflite/ manual trans adapter for these flat motors and based the design on the 218-230 block. Quote
