The bellhousing bolt pattern is the same for the regular and gear starts but the slight and subtle curvature in the original Ultra bellhousing is a visible difference between the regular and gear starts. In addition to the dipstick, another quick way to tell a gear start from a regular is look at the location of ports for the cooler lines. They are both on the right side of the case behind the bellhousing for the gear starts. For original Ultras, one is on the left side and the other is on the rear of the case.
