thanks keith, i guess what i should have said was, is the trans mission bolt pattern the same from 55 up, bellhousing to motor? on the inline 6 .. i have a chance to get a completely rebuilt, 55 motor,, and need to know what bellhousing pattern the inline 6 will except!!,,
forgive me i am dislexic, i post things backwards, then i have to go and rearrange what i am asking!!!:D,, tex

Rev Tex Devlle,

The Chevy inline six bellhousing to engine bolt patterns are the same from 1937 to 1961 or 1962, I'm not sure which. After that, they changed to the same bolt pattern that the Chev V-8's use. So there are in fact two different bolt patterns, depending on which generation engine you have.
