I think the bell housing is different between a v6 and a v8

Re: help, the trans wont go in

If you get this thing in you should start a thread about how long it lasted behing that 350.

Also as you mentioned the v6 has a 14 spline input shaft, and the v8 t-5's use a 28 I think something like that, but definately not 14.

Just saw in another post you already did the swap sooo never mind, still do a write up of how long it lasted.

i think you should put in a v8 t5. first off, they dont fit, 9i dont remember specifically but,) either the splines are too long or the splines are different sizes, and secondly if you did shorten it, it wouldnt hold up...y waste time and money when it would be so much easier doing it the right way by installing a v8 t5
