You mean they used a boat anchor...

The 2.8 has the front drive bell housing pattern. This is the 2.5 bell housing which has the V8/90 degree V6 pattern

I had read awhile back, that the 2.5 bolt pattern was the same as the sbc. I had read that online, so wasn’t sure how to take it until now.... very informative!

Isn't the '80's/'90's 2.5 simular/same as the Vega/Monza 4 bangers? I know those also had the Chevy bellhousing patteren.

Great, so now if I blow up my SBC 355 I have a few options I can go with....

It looks like the bolt pad locations for the GM dog-leg rectangle pattern are there, but some careful drilling and tapping is required.

those bellhousings might bolt onto a SBC but it doesn't look like SBC starter nose would fit in the bellhousing

Use a mini starter

There were 2 different 2.5's used. The one with the Chevrolet bell housing was the old iron Duke which was last used in the CJ7s. The YJ and small Cherokees used the AMC 2.5 which is a totally different engine. It also has a different bell housing pattern.
