Bellhousings are different.

(and it won't hold the torque of the 4.3 for long) <-- oops, unwanted opinion!

(punches at dr. fieros head) lol thanks for the response! if i switched the bell housing would it work??? its ok if it doesn't last long!!


let me know

thanks.

AFAIK (and this is purely an uninformed statement) you can yank the 4.3 bellhousing and bolt it to the T-5 you've got. But you better wait for someone else who's actually done it.

ok cool thats all i wanted to know! cause a guy was gonna buy my blazer for the tranny and all parts and wanted to know if it was possible!!!!!


thanks,
mike

I believe even if the bellhousings will interchange, the clutch would be another story, I'm pretty sure the input slines are different between the different engines.

The 4.3 shares a normal SBC bellhousing pattern. The 2.8 he's got is unique to the 60* lineup.

Yes I know the engine to bell housing patterns, but what you quoted is pointless without the rest of what I wrote, about the input shaft, and the spline/size. Oh and the 60* bolt pattern isn't so unique.
