Well, I have lost it...looking into Aussie/US 200 I-6 swap

It is a US BB200 block, which uses 2/3's of the SBF bell pattern.  Thus I'll use a 5.0 bell.

No, it is not the DOHC set-up...you see any cam pulleys? ;) It is the predecessor to that.  This head is the late EFI version.

I know your engine is not DOHC.  I am running emissions on an Aussie DOHC I6 right now, so I'm familiar with what they look like.

I was asking if the DOHC I6 uses the same bell pattern that yours does, ergo the same bell housing.

It the bell unique or is there something in the US that works?

No US bells work with the Aussie blocks.  You need an OZ or NZ bell. 

I'm using a US block.

those pictures are a blast from the past, i had the 200 in my 69 Falcon, It was bulletproof. Ive thought of doing this swap but not quite as radical. I didnt know the AU heads were so easy. Good Luck
