Hmmm, lets see here....
EARL, Chevy bellhousings will not bolt up...any other style GM will though...also known as the B.O.P. bellhousing. (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) I don't know manual trannys very well, but if you go for a row your own tranny behind a caddy big block....better make sure it is a strong tranny. These monsters well turn it into shrapnal if it isn't up to the task.
As for the tranny I am going to use, I was lucky enough to be able to bolt the caddy engine to the Pontiac TH350 that was in there when I got the truck. (It had a Pontiac 350/TH350 in it already) I do have a Caddy TH400 that will get rebuilt and installed, and it is a long sunuva b!tch. I don't know the length off the top of my head, and all my books are at my place. (I'm at mom & dad's right now)
Bowed, I honestly can't say...there were 2 kinds of big block mounts, the kind pictured up there that I am using...which is a 72 only, or the one I attached on this reply, which is a 68 - 71 deal.
I have never messed with inline engine towers, so I can not say.
