I believe all crankshafts are machined for a pilot bearing; this makes
it very easy for the production line to assemble to either configuration.
You are also correct that it should be checked just in case a previous owner
messed things up or swapped in non stock, unknown parts.

You'll need to check the crankshaft to see that it's drilled for use with a
pilot bushing . Aside from that everything should bolt right together.

According to the Parts List both the 260 and 289 engine uses the
same starter ring gear part number but it lists a different part numbers for
the flywheel
This seems to indicate that you can use the flywheel and clutch
parts but as with any engine change you need to go through the parts you
have to make sure they are compatible with each other.
You will need a 5 bolt bellhousing cover plate and pilot bearing.
I would think the transmission should bolt right up but again that depends
on the parts you have.
I would recommend going through the casting numbers on the 64 engine just so
you know what you have.
My guess is that the 260 block is a C4OE -6015E casting.
Yes, all 260 blocks are 5 bolt.

Subject: [Tigers] Bell housing question
Guys:
I'm contemplating putting a 260 back in my Tiger rather than the 289 that's
in the car right now. Here's the rub, though. The 260 I have is clearly a
5-bolt block, which I'm guessing all 260s were, but the 289 in the car is a
6-bolt block. Obviously, I'm going to have to change the bell housing over
to a 5-bolt unit. Now, if I do that, will my transmission bolt up to it or
not? Can I use my 289 flywheel on the 260? Also, are clutch sizes
different between the two engines? By the way, the 260 came out of an
automatic '64 Fairlane, if it makes any difference.
I'm all ears, guys.I've never had to mess with something like this before.
Thanks,
Andy Walker
