8. GM blocks The Chevy starters have two different bolt patterns on the bottom of the block The straight bolt pattern is normally used with the 153T flywheel and the offset or staggered starter bolt pattern is normally used with the 168T flywheel Many Chevy blocks today offer both starter bolt patterns on the block Some of our conversion bellhousings require a special GM starter nose cone If your stock starter is interfering with our bellhousing you may need to grind on the bellhousing a bit or purchase a hi torque starter which does not have a nose cone GM 1968122 for use with a 153T flywheel The Vortec Gen III blocks had their own unique starter bolt pattern WARNING Do not use one of our full bellhousings with a diesel engine The starter will not fit the bellhousing pocket on our bellhousing The oil pans on Chevy blocks have gone through a few changes Blocks 1985 amp earlier are all the same except the dipstick access is either on the driver s side or passenger side In 1986 GM changed their gasket design to a one piece rear main seal The earlier style oil pans will not fit the newer blocks The Vortec engines use an aluminum oil pan Most of the Chevy blocks used a triangular motor mount bolt pattern shown right Our conversion mounts all utilize this most common 4 INTRODUCTION ENGINE SELECTION mounting configuration In the late 90s and with the introduction of the LS1 and the Vortec Gen III V8 blocks we ve seen a v
