As ALF brought reference to;
The transition from the narrow bolt pattern to the wide bolt pattern. This transition happened to both the T10 and the Ford Top Loader. The wide pattern Top Loader usually included both narrow and wide bolt patterns. This transition happened at the same time that the 289 engine switched from being a 5-bolt (used on all manual shift 260/289 Cobras) to the 6-bolt configuration. The 6-bolt configuration 289 engine was used on 289 Cobras that were equipped with automatic transmissions.
