    Looks like the one is a C4(might be a C6) and the other cast iron one is a Cruisamatic. Could be wrong as I can't see the pan shape. As for using another transmission, does your block take 5 or 6 bolts to hold the bellhousing on? Early ones were 5 later were 6, and the 5's are hard to find bellhousings for. If it is a 6, any good later bellhousing will bolt up.

    Then you are screwed. Well, not actually screwed, but bellhousings are very hard to find and costly. If it is truly 5 bolts, the top bolt will be centered on the block instead of two bolts up top, parallel. Is that what you have?

    Here is a link I found and some pictures of transmissions to avoid. Your second one looks like what they call the C3 or Cruisamatic.

    My knowledge of these 5 bolt blocks is limited, so one of our more knowledgable guys may have better news for you.

    Both trans are C-4s,one is a case fill and the other is a pan fill and you wont be able to put a AOD behind the 5 bolt 260 block. You might want to check both trans and see if one has a 5 bolt bellhousing.

    Thanks Jeff, you are right, now that I get a better look at them. I was also wrong about only one bolt on top of the block, I was thinking of the BOP bolt pattern vs the Chevy one. But that does look like a 5 bolt pattern. Weren't all 260's and early 289's 5 bolt?

    Just went and looked both are the 5 bolt pattern bell housing. This may be a dumb question but what do you mean case filled ?

    The dipstick tube goes in the pan on the pan fill and it goes in the case on the case fill.

    Why the two styles of fill? Is one a better choice then the other to use if had to?

    I think the pan fill might have some heavier internal parts and I found them in trucks and behind 351-Ms and 400s in the mid sized cars.

    Ok, yesterday I picked up a 5 bolt bell housing I was told that they changed the bolt pattern on the T10 does anyone know what year this may have been
    And is the bolt pattern different on other makes of cars.
    Thanks
