Recently I bought a 5 bolt 289, intending to rebuild and install in my Tiger,
or to swap
it as a core for a crate motor.

However it has differences...

For example something resembling a fuel pump is attached to the front and
that won't work for a Tiger.

Without detailing all the differences, and admitting "small knowledge" in this
area,
is it safe to assume the Tiger peripherals will bolt up without modification?

Is "5 bolt" bell-housing all I need to know to make it work?

I'd hate to spend the $$ on a block that needs modification.
