[Fot] Bellhousing info

[Scott Janzen]

I have a TR6 box in my GT6.  The only difference between the gearboxes is two extra flange bolts on the Tr6 bellhousing, for which holes can easily be drilled on the plate.  the rear of the engine block is identical and the  plate bolts right up as the blocks are essentially the same (a bit more block stiffening in sides of the later TR6 blocks, I think).  Starter lines right up on the same flywheel.
Can’t speak for Spitfire.

The tr6, gt6 and Spitfire rear engine plates will bolt onto any of the above. They are NOT however a direct interchange. When I was installing the tr6 box into the gt6 motor there was a bolt or pin hole missing on the factory plate. I ended up using the tr6 alloy plate on the gt6 motor with the tr6 box. The aftermarket alloy plates for tr6 and gt6 are the same. At least all that I have seen. 

Regarding the Spitfire: the starter is on the left side vs the tr6 & gt6 are on the right. Therefore the six cylinder engine plate will not work on the four cylinder motor. Between the early and late four cylinder engine plates they will all bolt on however I believe the later plates have an extra bolt hole or two vs the early 4 cylinder. 

This is all from memory. Hope it is helpful.

block, not the 1147/1296 blocks.
