Mercrusier 470 Bell housing fits on what V8 Engine?

Question

Hi I just had a simple question here. I understand that the Merc 470 is a mercruiser designed block with a ford Head. I was wondering If the Bell housing from this engine would fit on any other v8 ford engines or if not a ford would it fit on any v8 block?

Answer 1

Contact Mercruiser as they have the correct answers>  

Answer 2

Mercrusier designed this motor, and the block and bell housing are unique to this engine.  It's considered a "marine" engine.  Not a automotive engine converted to marine spec.  I did have a machine shop attempt to make an adapter plate, but gave up on it, because they could just go to another GM engine instead. I hope this helps.
