If the back of the six has the same bolt pattern as the sbc why do i need an adapter plate to mount an automatic to the inline six? I.e the 230/250/292 engine? Is it not a direct bolt up? Are the adapter kits for the older 216/ 235 engines only? Some one please advise me on this will you? Thank you in advance.
Have a great dayu.

Hy sliderinwa, the simple answer is you don't need an adapter to mount an automatic from a V8 engine to the 194, 230, 250, 292 6 cylinder engine series, hope that helps.

Slider,
Just be sure you get a Chevy automatic trans, GM also produced BOP (Buick/Olds/Pontiac)& Cad transmissions that will not fit a Chevy (without an adapter). However, some of the later ones had a dual bolt pattern bellhousing.

Also, watch out on the v-6 trannies. The 60 degree v-6 (2.8,3.1,3.4) have still yet a different pattern than 90 degree Chevy and BOP. You'll mainly see these in S 10s.
