Also for any of you considering using an O.E. bellhousing with an adaptor plate you might be able to get away with it even with the shorten than mopar input on the Tremec but getting Liberty gear in michigan or possibly Jamie Passon to put a long Chrysler pilot end on the Tremec. You probably need to check how much the input splines move out of the disc(with adaptor plate in place) before going this route though.



I looked into this. What I found is that the distance from the front of the Tremec tranny case to the end of the splines on the Tremec are almost exactly the same dimension as the mounting face of the bellhousing to the inside of the disk splines. This means that if you pull the tranny out X amount, you will be losing the same amount of spline engagement.

You would need a longer shaft with longer splines.

Cudaman1- I wouldn't even think of using any factory T-5 behind a bigblock let alone a built hemi. TKO 600 for sure.

You can always use the "with gas prices so high, it will pay for itself!!" line.
