Is this the same 230 you folks have in your 1/2 tons? How do I ID the engine, bell housing, and transmission? Are numbers stamped on them and where?
Thanks
Dennis

All of the second-generation 6 cylinder engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the V8's. Any manual transmission from the mid-1950's on could be bolted onto the bellhousings that fit those engines, 3, 4, or 5 speeds. That would include the Muncie 3 and 4 speeds, the Saginaw 3 and 4 speeds, and various Borg-Warner 3,4, and 5 speeds with the Chevrolet bolt pattern. Even an SM-420 could bolt up and work.
