Bell housing match?

Hey guys. Don't the 351 Windsor and the 351 Cleveland have different bell housing patterns? Which one is it that is a match to the 289, 302, and the 300?

These are ZF related questions. Thanks.

You guys are too slow. I found my own answers:


Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's.
  • 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern.
  • 250 I6
  • 255 V8
  • 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block
  • 302 Cleveland (Australia)
  • 351 Cleveland V8 (not the 351 Cleveland M-block engine)
  • 351 Boss
  • 351 Cobra Jet
  • 302 Windsor V8
  • 351 Windsor V8
  • 400 Cleveland M-block V8 aka 400FMX (certain 1973 casting numbers D1AE and D3AE, mated to the FMX transmission)
  • 3.8/3.9/4.2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Essex_V6_engine_%28Canadian%29 90° V6 (RWD only)
  • 240 I6
  • 300 I6
  • 4.6L http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine V8 (first two casting runs, numbers F1AE and F2VE)
  • 5.0L V8
  • 5.8L V8
I guess that information gives rise to another question: Does that make all those engines compatable with the ZF with a small block bell housing?????
