bellhousing to mate a t18a to chevy? Buick?

[curt]

Is there such a thing? I will be using a t18a out of a 66 J-2000 that had a 327. It will be going into my 1973 j-2000. Want to run a chevy crate motor. this will replace the 258/3 speed combo.

Either that or if I could get a buick 350 bell I could run the buick 455 that's in my garage? right? Could I use the bolt on motor mounts off a buick 350 donor for the motor?

decisions? :confused:

chevy and buick bolt paterns are different. You would need an advanced adapter to bolt the T18a to the chevy engine. You can bolt a ford small block pretty easily to a T18a though.

why not just run an sm 465? theyre plenty stout,and have a comparable 1stgear. and theyre pretty easy to scare up smile.gif

you can bolt up a buick 455 with the buick 350 bell. i think i remember the 455 block being wider than the 350,however,so i dont think it will completely bolt in with the 350 parts.

as far as a SBC to a t18,you could possibly modify a chevy bell to use on the t18. ive never done it this way,but plenty of te guys in the local club run sm465/205s behind amc 258s and 360,so in theory it should be possible smile.gif
