Just spent several hours doing my homework on the topic. Seems the more I read, the dumber I get... Looks like I'm going at this backwards and there is no hope of an off the shelf solution.

I want to keep the rear crossmember and use it to mount the bell housing. I guess the question is this:

Is there a bell housing that
A) uses the mounting holes on the existing rear crossmember
B) is compatible with either the NV3500 or 4500 (T-5 ruled out)
C) allows for clearance between the 350's distributor and the firewall.

Does anyone know where I can find dimensional drawings of GM bell housings?



EDIT: Guess I should say that I don't want to remove the rear crossmember. Being able to use it would be a bonus.
