Wow, didn't know that. Thanks guys. Its an item on my to-get list for my spare engine, and since I'm going to a manual if it ever goes in, this stuff is great to know.

The lower bolt holes and starter opening don't line up...not even close!
The auto has a removable inspection cover,while the 4 speed is a one piece unit.
