First of all I searched for this, so hopefully this isn't a repost and I missed it.

'97 3800 V6
T-5 5 Speed

I have found a lot of conflicting information on this transmission. What bellhousing bolt pattern is it? SBC?

26 spline input?

Clutch size?

I would like to know if this trans could be used behind a 350. I don't want to hear about how weak it is due to the gear ratios. I just want to know if it is physicaly possible.

Thanks.

 

Sorry, this has been detailed before. But the long story made short, you'll spend more trying to get it to work than it costs to buy a good used T5 for a third gen 305 application. The input shaft is Ford 10-spline, it's longer than what 305 T5s used, the bellhousing bolt pattern is different, and the 3.75:1 first gear :-)

 

Thank you. I figured it must have been covered before, but my search skills must suck. Thanks.
