Re: Engine/Tranny Bolt Pattern Compatible?

I have seen many other posts about those, but not the engine/tranny compatibility. Also, what about the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel? I have an engine from an automatic, but want to stay with the 3 on the tree. I know I will need a pilot bearing, but will the flywheel assembly bolt onto the crank of the SBC? I am trying to figure out as much as I can what I will need before I tear it apart. Thanks!

BTW - in another thread there was talk of "unique" names to places - how about the "Bong Recreation Area" in Wisconsin?
Nothing from that engine will work with a SBC.
