Trans question

Just a small question. I was told that the trans. off of my 390 would also fit the bolt pattern on a 460 is this correct? Both trans. and motors
are from the same year truck.

incase you need this the trucks are 1973 highboys

NO, there are of different engine families

however, if the trans. is a standard, you may have to get the correct flywheel for the 460. as i recall, a friend went thru h### until a knowledgeable parts man pointed this out as the reason for the truck eating starter after starter after starter...

The 460 has the same bolt pattern as the 351M/400. The 390 has a different bolt pattern which is common to the FE engines 352,360,390,406,427,428.
Then there is the smallblock pattern that the 260,289,302,351W and 351C use.
