Shawn89 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 So I started gathering parts to change my monte carlo ss 86 over to a 5 speed. I'm using a t5 for now because I'm not ready to do a t56 because my back pocket isn't that fat lol. But I got a t5 wc out of a 99 camaro. Now I need to find out what bell housing clutch flywheel combo I should use. Can anyone help? I've got a 350 in my monte to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn89 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I do have one question for someone that might know....the 2.8 v6 and small block v8 as well as the 4.3v6 all share the same bell housing pattern correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I don't think the 2.8 bell housing will bolt up to the 4.3...so doubt it will the v8 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 As far as the clutch and flywheel go, just count the splines on the input shaft, as long as you match the clutch to that you could get just about any clutch and flywheel for a small block chevy with a matching spline count (shaft size matters too though) but that's a nice thing about a sbc, most parts will fit any sbc.

Richard Cranium Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 This thread is making me want to do a t56 swap into my Impala SS. Good luck, I'm looking forward to seeing how this all comes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 So I can use the 4.3 bellhousing..ill find one lol. Ill messure my input shaft tonight and report back on that. If anyone really wants pics pm me and ill send a few to your phone. I don't have a computer just my phone lol 90* 3.8/4.3 bellhousing from a Astro Van, it'll be canted 17* to match the trans, disc to match the trans, pressure plate to match the flywheel, it "should" be a 153 tooth. Try to go hydraulic for the T.O.B. It's been a while, but that should be the correct combo. 2.8 was a 60* V6. Totally different block pattern.

Patterson Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 V6 early 80's El Caminos used the bellhousing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 And it has to be from a 3.8/4.3 with a t5 right? IIRC, they were all Borg Warner T10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 IIRC, they were all Borg Warner T10. So the t10 bell housing will work on the t5? Or am I missing something. If anyone has a clutch and brake pedal assy. From a 80s f body ill buy it if the price is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 they did a manual swap on hot rod tv last year you can probably find the build videos online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn89 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 What can I pull a t10 bellhousing out of? Is that what's in the s10s and blazers, because I looked at a few in the junk yard and the trannys themselfs look way differnt that the t5 and had no id tag on the side like a t5. Sorry for the dumb questions but I don't know a great deal about gm transmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Don't sweat it. The BH has to come from a G/A Body. Or the Astrology Van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well no updates today lol ain't really had time to go look for parts. This weekend should be fun though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 EBay, could could probably turn up a few parts. The Z bar and linkage will work from most 2nd gen fbodies. Pivot ball, clutch fork are universal. The only hard part is the BH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah the bh is what I'm having trouble finding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
