Chev engine swap adapter

It's starting to look like another Series LR is not going to be in my future. I used these parts to swap a 250 ci, inline 6 into a SWB IIA a lifetime ago. The best combination ever IMHO. The engine, which I lost track of after it went into a 67 C10, was rebuilt with an RV cam, aluminum intake, 390 cfm Holley 4BBL carb and it was a joy to drive. Endless torque, better mpg than the 2.25 l it replaced, and, with the Fairy OD, easily kept up with traffic on the 401 Hwy. Sorry for reminiscing but I miss that vehicle. Included are the bellhousing adapter, flywheel, pressure plate, starter (needs solenoid), and engine mounts. How does $750 sound? Open to trades as well. I've got a Disco1 so, yeah...
Located in Courtenay on Vancouver Island.
Cheers, Greg

I'm curious which model/years chevy motor would work with this?

Sorry, I really don't know the answer to that.

Per the below, it is the same bolt pattern as a mid 90’s 4 bolt 350 SBC, which is the same as the LS1 pattern. Mind you, an LS1 will kill a Series tranny in no time at all. 🤔

Also would work for a chev 4.3 V6 which might be a bit more a propos.

I'll have to do a little more research!

The Iron Duke 4 cylinders and the 230,250 and 292 inline six cylinders also use the same bolt pattern. The sixes generally need the six cylinder bulkhead to fit as the four cylinder won’t let them sit back as far in the chassis, at least without cutting. Depending upon which engine you try, the next piece to go is the gearbox as the Series gearbox won’t tolerate some of the more powerful options for long.

" The sixes generally need the six cylinder bulkhead"
In my case the 4 cyl bulkhead was unmodified with the 250 ci installed.

That must have been wedged in there as the 250 in my NADA 109 project I have here is not overly generous for room and it sits further back than a 2.25 does. Or you push the rad forward to gain clearance.

Yes the rad (not the stock rad either) was moved forward a bit and electric fans installed.
