Re: Bellhousing
You need a V8 bell housing, fork and trans. Don't waste your time trying to fudge the v6 trans in there.

Re: Bellhousing
Bottom line = The bellhousing bolt pattern is different from the V6 to the V8 engines , so a V6 bellhousing is not gonna bolt onto a V8 engine (without some kind of adapter plate , and at that point , just get a "native" V8 setup and be done with it) ......
