6L vs V8 Bellhousings

[Roberto L.]

Hello friends, I would like to know about any compatibility between a 6L Chevy bellhousing and the V8 bellhousing (3970010, 76 vette engine). It is my understanding that they are different but, just in case... Thanks

The 194, 230, and 250 cid L6 engines use the same bellhousings as V-8s. The GM #3858403 (12-3/4" flywheel) and the GM #3899621 (14" flywheel) were used on both L6 and V8 engines.

The only V-6 that uses the same bellhousings as the V-8 is the 4.3L used in trucks. Other V-6s use a different bellhousing not interchangeable with V-8s.
