True, as long as you use the manual clutch bellhousing and the post 68 water pump and timing cover. I went with the Hydraulic Bellhousing, and that was what necessitated keeping the '68 short snout (1" shorter) water pump and timing cover. A newer (post '68 LA) pulley would be 1" out of plane (lineament) and not work.
Thanks for the V-6 info, as if I ever do another V-8 (post 68) I will look for those.
