Some cranks are cast, some are forged. Pre-1987 are two piece rear main seal. 1987 and up are one piece. Rod and main journal diameters are all the same.
yes
They are all the same size.
Every transmission that Chevy ever made up to the year 2000. All the bolt patterns are the same. And they all will fit big or small blocks
it all depends on what year and apllication my 85 was the same according to napa
Yes of course. All Chevy engines are interchangible with transmissions. For example, you can have a 305, 307, 327, 350, 400 with a turbo 350, turbo 400, or 700r4 big block are also the same
all chevy V8 engine share the same firing order of 18436572 in a clockwise rotation of the distributor when looking at it from the top.
All chevy 350 engines use the same bolt pattern to bolt the bell housing to the block so the 71 model block should bolt up the same although there may be slight differences otherwise.
no
Absolutely not. The only trans that will bolt to a Chevy is a Chevy. The old BOPC will all interchange with each other. The only way to make that work is an adapter plate.
Sure. All small block Chevy's are the same from 1955 to present. Not sure if the flywheel balance is the same though.
Usually. It's all about the type of distributor being used.
No difference in the engine. It is all in the trans and the rearend
