Other Useful Information Not Yet Placed...

- the BOP and the Chevy bolt patterns share the same lower four bolts, And the dowel pins are in the same location relative to the crankshaft centerline. So by drilling for the different upper two bolts I made a Chevy scattershield bolt up any modern GM V8 (except maybe the Northstar/Arouras).

-GM made a version of their TH350 with a "universal" belhousing with both bolt patterns cast in I don't know about other trannies with this feature but SOME 80's TH-350's did use the universal feature - hard to find since they get snatched up by rebuilders - they can sell them to anyone!

Bellhousing Information

- Ford bellhousing bolt pattern info: the 240 and 300 (4.9) sixes use the small block bellhousing. 144, 170, & 200 Sixes have their own unique bolt pattern. The 221, 260, 289, 302, 351W, 351C, and the 250 small block six, all use the small block bellhousing. The 351M, 400, 429, & 460 use the Big block bellhousing. The 331, 352, 360, 390, 361, 391, 427, & 428 use the 'FE' bellhousing. The Olds aluminum V8 shares it's unique bellhousing bolt pattern with the early GM V6's and the 225 ci Jeep Commando V6.

- the rare TH 400 used in (some ?, all ?) Quadratrac Cherokees. Has an AMC bolt pattern. I've seen adpater plates made to bolt a Chev pattern replacement case into the Jeep. So it might be possible to have a Jeep auto trans bolted to your Chevy in your Toyota. B&M and Trans-Dapt (and maybe others) make adapter plates so that you can use a BOP trans on a Chev and vise versa.
