Re: Tremec swap to SM318 bellhousing? measurements on bell? (GMC)
I may be wrong but I was thinking that the T-5 had a different bolt pattern than the standard Chevy belhousing.
The bolt pattern on a standard GM bellhousing is 8 1/4" side to side on the top holes, and 9 1/8" across the bottom, with a verticle measurement of 4 13/16". The pattern is a rectangle except for the lower right hole being offset to the outside, hence the 7/8" difference across the bottom.
As already stated you shouldn't have and problem getting an aftermarket 5 spd to bolt up, even though it sounds as if you have the V-6.
