My engine builder wants to build a plate for his dyno so he doesn't have to use the bellhousing to hold my 401 in place for dyno testing. I tried the search function, but it didn't come up with what I am looking for. Does anyone have a PDF or a CAD drawing or print of the bolt pattern at the back of the engine block and the the 4-bolt pattern on the bellhousing-to-tranny connection? If these bolt patterns were shown superimposed that would be even better.

I can read any common CAD format so if that is the flavor you have it in, that works as well. 111!!!

Get an AMC to Chev adapter plate (about $89 without the flexplate was the cheapest I saw)

Junkyard:

Do you have a link to the plate you mention? I'm not sure that is what we need, but I can look at it. I'm not a Jeep guy, so I don't have any experience with the GM trannys. I have two AMX's, so parts that you AMC/Jeep folks routinely see aren't necessarily familiar to me.

MC, thanks for the print, really great. Only problem is the vertical dimensions on the left side that show the heights to the bellhousing holes are off the page. Any chance of another scan or just post those dimensions? I can also read a CAD file if you have one.
