Hope somebody knows the answer to this. Ive got a 67 D100 with a /6 - 727 combo. Ive got a 64 D100 with a poly - 727 combo. Will the 67 /6 bolt directly to the 727 in the 64? I would prefer to swap the engines only and leave the trannies where they are, since one is a 2 cable and the other a single

Terry,
I know the pattern and size is the same, but some sixes assembled from the opposite side as the V8, so the holes may either not be threaded, or threaded on both bell and block at the same hole locations.
I know that is hard to read, so here are two photos, of manual bells for comparison.
V8 Bell, with all threaded holes needing to be on the engine block.
Slant 6 bell, with block holes, unthreaded and the Bell holes threaded.
I'd have to assume that the automatics would be similar?
