Actually the original V8 from 1955 continued 48 years to 2003. I think the LS and LT went past the mid 90's also. 1963 would be a good year 1. New 6 and new V8(Mark IV) all were bell housing interchangeable. Ouch, I said ALL again. Before 63 the 216 and 235 and 261 were interchangeable and the early V8's were, but not 6 to V8/ V8 to 6. The rear end of a pre 63 V8 or 6 bell housing will mate to the same pre 63 3 speed Manual.(1955 for example)
