I have the offset bolt pattern, not sure if my block has three bolt holes or two. I'll check it out.

One last question, do you need to pull the engine to change out the flywheel?

Thanks,

Oh, yeah, I used maybe 2-3 shims...can't remember the thickness. Sorry. However, it only took a couple tries to get it right.

Good luck!
