...and how much searching did you do before posting that question? Survey says....NONE! I get to be rude 'n' cranky when I see "gimme-gimme-I'm-too-lazy-to-search" questions.

 

J: early pushrod motor.

A: later OHC motor.

 

I know folks have bolted L-motor trans to J motors, but you have to have the engine adapter, and the right mix of clutch, pressure plate, TO brg, etc. Dunno if A-motor trans will. Experts?

1) Differences? Lots. They're not related in any way. The only commonality is they are both pushrod engines.

 

2) No. Totally different rear pattern.

 

 

Pete, the A-series isn't OHC. It's OHV. The L is the true OHC one, plus the U20 (which is a bastard R-series pushrod block with a OHC head)

Thanks, Doug. I was thinking OHV and typed OHC. Appreciate the correction. :thumbup:
