Chevrolet Engine Bellhousing Bolt Pattern?

Question:
Is it true that the Chevy 366 and 427 TRUCK engines have the exact same bellhousing bolt patterns as the following engines:
3.8L (229) V6
4.3L (262) V6
5.0L (305) V8
5.7L (350) V8
7.4L (454) V8
All of the engines listed I'm referring to are Chevy engines of course, NOT any of the other GM divisions. Also, is it true that the above two engines (the 366 and 427 TRUCK) use a timing gear drive, as opposed to a timing chain, which would necessitate opposite distrubutor rotation if necessary? Thanks in advance.

What are your opinions on the Ethanol-85 fuel - practical or just hype?

Yeah, well, not sure about the 3.8, but the rest of them all share a bellhousing, including the 366 and 427. This is one of the great things about the General, virtually everything is interchangable among the v-8's, and even with a lot of the 6's. as far as the distributor rotation, I really don't know, but I hope I have been of some help to you with your bellhousing issues. Bonus points: The old 366 is actually still in production today, most people thought id died and was brought back, but it only vanished in the light truck category, it was still being used in the big 2-ton kodiak trucks. Good luck witrh you swap! and thanks for the help with my transmission to transfer case spacer too. I appreciated it.
