no...if it were so simple...
lr pattern is unique to the ****y ilttle 3.5..(and bigger later varients) and the buick lump it was lifted from..(apart from real early ones (i think))
RE BELLHOUSINGS..dont forget input shaft length in equation..you might find good bellhousing but its too long...just pionting this out..
also i recon easier to make bellhousing fit gearbox than vise versa??

You got some work to do now
Oh yeah! Plenty of pics will follow tomorrow
Building the engine back up as best we can and starting to make up exhaust manifold and inlet manifold templates
It might be but this way the bellhousing already matches the dowel holes so all I need to do is extend the dowel pegs outwards to match the flywheel adaptor offset

Just saw the word scotchbrite in an engine rebuild thread! Don't do it! It contains tiny pieces of grit/sand which you may struggle to ever clean off properly. This means scotchbrite should never go anywhere near an engine's internals even if fully cleaned after. What I was told by my neighbor anyway when we had my Honda 125 apart!
Cheers, good luck, looking forward to seeing a video of a Series with a 429ci v8 in it!
