Default Right hand

Where there any rear engine applications for a chev 6? My idea is with the motor reversed the fork is then needed on the oposite side.

The Staghound ran a pair of Chevrolet 6’s in the back. Were there any specific ‘left’ and ‘right’ requirements for that installation?

I don't have access to my manuals for the C15TA, Fox and Otter right now but will check later. My impression is that the angled pads were a later version and the style used on the CMP (vertical face on the clutch housing with right angle brackets to attach the engine mounts to a horizontal face on the frame) were an earlier version. Again an (unconfirmed) understanding - that the angled rubberized mounts were developed first to address NVH in lighter duty vehicles.

Staghounds have two GM270s, each with Hydramatic automatic gearboxes so no clutches !

C15TA, Otter and Fox are all listed as using 2136589 as the clutch housing, the same as the C60X.

Default chev 6 bell housings

Hi all; My G-506 WW2 trucks use the right angle mounts on the bell housings , the angled mounts are later 'Civvy' type. CMP is also the right angle type I recall. Looking closer the E-pay one appears to have the hydraulic cyl mounts on the right side. I just sold a complete assembly to the East USA.. all from a early 60's Chev PU; for less than $100 USD incld shipping. Newc in Oregon
