To mate a v6 t5 to a sbc you would need the sbc bellhousing. As well as the appropriate clutch and flywheel.
Since no 350 ever came in front of a T-5 in one of these cars, and the ONLY bell housings you can use are ones from these cars, don't go looking for a "stock 350 bell housing". There is no such thing that applies.
1-pc vs 2-pc RMS doesn't matter to the bell housing.
What DOES matter is, you will need a BH with the hydraulic provisions (84-up), from a V8. The only V8 that came with a T-5 was the 305. So, long story short answer, you need the BH out of a 84-92 305/T-5 Camaro or Firebird.
Then you'll discover why a 6-cyl transmission behind a V8 is a REALLY TERRIBLE idea from the get-go.
The block needs three holes for the starter. Two straight across from each other will be used; the diagonal two will not. The starter and flywheel for an 84 Z28 ar compatible with this.
Once you discover your really great DEAL from the 70s block only has the two diagonal bolt holes, you can drill and countersink the third hole so you can run thirdgen parts.
Or you can set up many other ways. None of which are as simple.
So the block is from a 73 impala.im running a 153 tooth fly wheel.starter mates up fine.still trying to figure out the clutch set to use.not sure what you mean when your talking about the 3 holes?and so I absolutely have to use the v8 bellhousing from a third gen?

Yes 84-94 V8 manual trans bellhousing also read this
Use the clutch & flywheel for 83-85 L69. (Vin code G or 7, NOT Vin code H) Except you'll have to use a 6-cyl disc; I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER about 6-cyls, never even seen one myself; but people say an Astro van disc works as right as anything can in a bastardization like that.
At thanks y'all for the help so.far I read the articles midias.now I'm trying to figure out all this back in forth of whether you have to trim the input shaft..and how much.and now "new to me" that you have to grind the pilot bearing down aswell?have not heard for sure what clutch set to use .besides the advanced.and the s10 which I don't have the
years to look for cause ain't got a diffinitive answer on that yet..o and what are the holes on the side.theres one below the distributor . of this intake for? Thanks
Higher-performance clutches use a shorter one; typical 6-cyl type applications use a "raised diaphragm" clutch, which has less tension making it easier for the half of the population with generally less physical strength to use, and takes a MUCH taller one.
BH and trans don't matter to that. Not sure about the fork.
