any old gen 1 chev bellhousing will fit the bolt pattern never changed but I think theres one bolt hole not tapped on the ls blocks theres an oil gallery or something running behind it, dunno if a R151 would be the gearbox of choice to go behind an ls a larger cruiser box might be a bit stronger there used to be tons of chev to R151 bellhousing listed on trademe do a bit of research and you might find out who had them all, that marks adaptors stuff is really fawking expensive it makes ARB look cheep so do a bit of shopping around to find something cost effective

i would stay clear of marks adapter in C/C.

i paid for return airfares to Melbourne and bought the low range gears form their shop and still had change left over from what the C/C lads wanted

had a nice holidays whilst we were there thou

ok im not familiar with gm engines
Is the gen1 just a dirty old 350?
but yea the r151 is my pick, can buy about 10 of them for the price of a 4wd ready tremec
and c/c?
cheers

from memory up to 92 remaind unchanged, then 92 till 96/97 there were changes stroke/bore and to the head design 4 stud manifolds or similar, then 97 onwards was the LS1, but the LS' have completely nothing in common really with the original 350 small block. they were designed by a boat manufacturer as GM hadn't any real tech and expierence with "aloomanim" blocks till then

yeah mate a gen 1 is a dirty ole 350 or 327 or 307 or 305 or 283 or 400 or 383

Think he means christchurch?

Ok the chevy 350 bellhousing fits the ls block it is just 1 bolt diffrent. I hung a 70series manual off mine not a problem. I used a ls flywheel with cruiser chutch plate. The bell housing was 350 to cruiser off trademe.
