Does the I-6 4200 Vortec have the same bell housing bolt pattern as the V-8 LS?

They are not the same bolt pattern but the transmission if you're going to use a 4L60 has a bolt on bell housing 1 thing with the 4,200 is you need to use 2006 or newer they have more power they use LS rods and computer A different reluctor wheel and a different cylinder head

4200, matching 2wd 4l60e and an AA adapter to splitcase would all bolt up but transfer case would be REALLY far back. Short rear driveshaft and big tunnel mod required.

Thanks for the info. How about the NV4500 would that be a shorter assembly? I like the idea of using a inline 6

Cause it’s cheaper? Lot of work when an LS fits nicely in there

Yes. At that point I would probably just use the EMTech adapter and flywheel and AA bellhousing to the H42 or H55f though.

It would be a LOT easier to turbo the 4200 in the 60 than turbo the LS in the 60.
But yes, an unconvential swap that doesn't make sense unless one already knew exactly what they were doing and weren't going to need to lean on a forum for help.

If I win the lotto and come upon absolute freedom of my own time, I will 4200 swap a 40 with a turbo. You can consult on it for me I think it would be a bad ass unique swap.

I’m not really interested in putting one in a Land Cruiser but I am DEFINITELY interested in putting one in a Mustang or GM car

Haven’t looked into it for years now, (there may be easier solutions now) when I was, the oil pan was the big turn off for me in putting one in a cruiser. It has been done a few times though. User @TwoTonic had a couple threads back in the day.

Irrelevant to the OP’s question, but I see there’s a nice pan now:

No because it is a straight 6 and and great platform.

I was wondering about the length.

I looked into this swap before. The ax15 fits to this engine bolt pattern. The 80 series transfer case I believe Is a direct fit (ax15) without an adapter but I could be wrong. I do know that there is a ax15 adapter to split case. In theory this could work. I would just have to get some measurements.

What forum tho.
