    Do these two engines (both GM) have the same flywheel housing bolt pattern?
    Are the flywheels the same? :confused:

    Thanks

    Anyone want to trade a couple 3.0 inline 4's for a couple 5.0 Crusaders?;)

    Doubt it,--the 3 is the 2.5 with the carb restriction removed, I never buy a 3 but always buy the 2.5,-- cheaper and I can make a 3 in 5 minutes.

    I dont know the 5

    Frosty, Sorry for ruffling your feathers. 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0 are metric displacement (liters) which we are now using in the US.

    Regards, Jango
