V8 Chevrolet bellhousing bolt patterns are the same. Buick, Old, Pontic, Caddy (BOP) use a different bolt pattern. As mentioned above, some of the older trannies when BOP made their own engines, may have a dual bolt pattern to fit on BOP and Chev.

Motor mounts are the same (although there are a few varieties to choose from to obtain optimum fit).
Flywheels and flex plates are the same in the 86-back versions(except for balance issues, which are easily overcome - but the bolt patterns are the same).
Distributors, starters, and flat tappet lifters are the same.
Everything else is different.
