    Absolutely positive. Dual bolt patterns, "MX2" cast on the bellhousing. Anyway it better be, 'cause it's sitting on my floor. :happy:

    Well you can joke all you like, lol. I just got a 350C, multi-fit case, MX2, out of an '83 Olds Cutlass. Made by Buick, covered with crud, seems intact under it all. Exactly what I was looking...

    In that case only the Cadillac info was close. I was looking at MVMA docs. Maybe the others, someone had poor eyesight and mistook "6" for "8".

    This I still don't get. These cars all have the same L05 with the same mechanical components. The only difference is the air cleaner box. How can the compression be different, let alone the power...

    Then again, it can't be. Available info says the '93 Fleetwood ONLY had the 4L60 (700R4). So I have NO IDEA what BFYZ is about. :rockon:

    GAAK, this L05 is getting very murky. I can't get a straight answer on the truck version. Did it really have a flat tappet cam? The cars had roller. What exactly was the truck compression? And...

    I'm assuming TH400 for BFYZ. It rings a bell that the L05 had that option. Of course no replies.

    Anyway, the truck L05 has 9.3:1 compression, where the car has 9.8. You could use the truck long...
