Bellhousing fit question

[Anonymous]

Will a 6 bolt std 289 bellhousing work on a 351C?

The 289 (starting in 1965), 302, 351-W and 351-C all use the "small block" 6-bolt bell housing pattern. The 400, 351M/400, 390, 427, 428 and 429 all use the "big block" bell housing, which are heavier, more difficult to find and more expensive than the "small block" size.

Dats what I found.

I'm selling my T10 and a guy wanted to know if the 289 housing I have would fit his 351C.

He's putting a T10 behind a 351C? I wouldn't expect that too last very long....

Swapped out a CR toploader back in April, it's mo better on the road course!

just a word of warning, the bellhousing will bolt on to the block but the 351C flywheel (hence the starter location) is different. Number of teeth or something like that. Ask me how I know.
