I believe it was 78-81, 82 was 6.2l. Not sure what adapter you are wanting, but they were a BOP bolt pattern on the flywheel housing

I didnt know, if they used a special bellhousing or just an adapter. Or did they make any manual shift with the B/P/O

They were used in Truck from 1978 - 1980 and in cars up until 1985.  The later Blocks are MUCH stronger than their gasoline counterparts.  They were used behind BOP transmissions, not Chevy patterned Trans, there was no adapter plate.
