Curt, Fred, et Listers,
Sorry for my "curt" posting. I was pressed for time to elaborate. My point
is, we are straying farther and farther from the issue here. Now let's see:
the starter bolts to the bell housing, the bell housing bolts to the block.
As far is I know, all 5-bolt blocks look the same from behind!! I can't
tell you how many different bell housings there are that fit a 5-bolt
block. In any case, what does this have to do with telling the difference
between a 260 and a 289??
Again, as the Laifman says, check the casting number if you want to know
what it is.
