[Tigers] 5 bolt 289 ?

[Randall Antosiak]

Hi Allan - 
I put a 5 bolt 289 in my Tiger a few years back, and I don't recall any problems 
bolting up the Tiger peripherals.  I had problems only where I decided to 
upgrade my engine, like with GT40 heads and higher compression pistons.

Subject: [Tigers] 5 bolt 289 ?

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.
