Hi Allan -
I put a 5 bolt 289 in my Tiger a few years back, and I don't recall any
problems
bolting up the Tiger peripherals. I had problems only where I decided to
upgrade my engine, like with GT40 heads and higher compression pistons.

Subject: [Tigers] 5 bolt 289 ?
Recently I bought a 5 bolt 289, intending to rebuild and install in my Tiger,
or to swap
it as a core for a crate motor.
However it has differences...
For example something resembling a fuel pump is attached to the front and
that won't work for a Tiger.
Without detailing all the differences, and admitting "small knowledge" in this
area,
is it safe to assume the Tiger peripherals will bolt up without modification?
Is "5 bolt" bell-housing all I need to know to make it work?
I'd hate to spend the $$ on a block that needs modification.
