250 straight 6 bellhousing

Jul 09, 2004 6 Replies

Can someone clear something up for me, I have a 81 4x4 1/2 ton with the 250 straight 6. I am wondering if it has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the chev 350 and the same motor mount locations. would it be a straight swap or will I have to change much? Thanks


Ron, here is a link to Inline chevy info and a discussion group that can probably answer your question

yes it does, and yes it has. altho you need to use the mounts for the v8. the engine will sit back about 4 inches from where a v8 normally would sit.

Which way?

Better weight transfer that way!!

Well I guess i'll have to explain it to all the einstiens here. It's an old drag racing trick setting the motor back for a better launch off the line.

makes my ol 69 truck feel more balanced in daily driving too. altho it does tend to lift the front end on hard launches lol
