Will a 148 bolt into a VAC?

[RGMartin]

Before a I waste a bunch of time on this. anybody know if a 148 out of a first gen 480 bolt into a VAC?

Not without extensive work, but it can be done, but not easily, a totally different bell housing pattern, similar shape but much smaller. Then there are starter and flywheel issues, the 148 flywheel will not go in a VAC bell housing.

Early 430 had a 148B engine, 3 bolt starter and larger lower end than 148 engine.
