Looks a lot like mine.


Remove the 4 bolts holding the front input shaft/throwout bearing snout (my mind has gone blank and I cant remember the proper name) and look at the input shaft. If it is as fat as the spined portion, it is from a V8 car, if it is shrunken down after it leaves the spines, it is for a 6.

Here are pictures of mine.


When I did a similar inquiry about mine, here is what one reply was.


Here's the way I see it. It's a '65 or older, non-synchro low gear Saginaw. They had 4 bolts on the side cover. In '66 they went all synchro, and have 7 bolts on the cover. The casting date of L271 means December 27, 19X1. The decade is not indicated, but it wouldn't be '71, cuz that would be a syncgro unit. Most likely 1961, and put into an early 1962 model year vehicle.


Hope this helps,

Don
