Here's why it's complicated:
* There are many different Chevy 350 transmissions: Common ones include the TH350, TH400, 700R4, and 4L60E. Each has its own bellhousing pattern and bolt holes.
* Chevy 350 motors have evolved over the years: Early models (like pre-1986) had a different bellhousing bolt pattern than later models.
To get a definitive answer, you need to tell me:
* What specific transmission are you using?
* What year and model is the Chevy 350 motor?
Here's how to find out if they match:
1. Identify the transmission: Look at the transmission case or tag for its model number.
2. Identify the motor: Look for the engine casting number on the block.
3. Consult a parts catalog or online resource: Search for "Chevy 350 bellhousing bolt pattern" and the specific year/model of your motor. You can also find diagrams and specifications for different transmissions.
Example:
If you have a TH350 transmission and a 1970 Chevy 350 motor, they will likely not bolt together. The TH350 has a different bolt pattern than early 350s.
Good luck with your project!
