Does anyone know if the engine plates interchange? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | Greg, that plate does interchange with the chevy plates. There are some NOS ones that pop up a lot on epay starting bidding at $30 rather frequently. It is useful to peolple like myself who are placing a later sidemount 270 or 302 in an older chassis.
The front timing cover is the same as well.

You read my mind. I'm pulling the plate off to replace a plate on a side mount 235 that I pulled out of a car. It's probably easy enough to punch the holes in the existing plate but I didn't want to throw away something that is useful.
