Bob_H Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm trying to find the height of a T-5 bellhousing - anyone? I'm working on a different transmission,(G-force G5r), to my RB26. My bellhousing adapter I have is to adapt the RB to a TH400. However, its about 5 1/2" tall. The input shaft on the G5r right now was designed for a L28 with the T-5 bellhousing an an adapter,(that is about .75"). So I'm fairly certain I can make this work with the two of them - but I need to know the height of a T5 bellhousing,(or the first gen 5 speeds, type A and . If you have it attached to the transmission - it would be the measurement to the back of the bellhousing, not the flat part inside the bellhousing,(not that there is much flat areas!). Thanks - any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The more I read that the less I understand it. Not an insult, the problem might be with me. I have a GM T5 with a sbc bell sitting on my garage floor. It's a tilted f-body type. Can I help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Yea, reading this again it isn't very clear. Lemme try to fix that. T-5 bellhousing measurement - I need it. It should be somewhere in the 5-7" range. Ok, the explanation as to why I need/want it. I have a G-Force G5R 5 speed transmission. Rated for 1300+hp/etc.. It was previously setup on a turbo L6 using the T5 bellhousing and an adapter plate,(btw the bellhousing and trans). I want to run it behind my RB26. I have a custom bellhousing that fits the RB26 but is designed for the old school chevy 3 and 4 speeds/TH400. I could make it work if I bought a new/shorter input shaft but would rather not. If I know how tall the T5 bellhousing is, I can work the existing adapter I have to ensure its the right overall length. I don't think a Chevy bellhousing is the same height but don't know.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Are you asking for the measurement from the front of the bellhousing (engine plate side to the face that bolts to the transmission itself? If so I would say that you would be looking for the length the bellhousing adds to the overall length of the tranny and not the width... I have a T5 ffrom my '83 ZXT in the garage, but I have no idea from your request what you want...

Bob_H Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Gosh guys - didn't realize I was doing such a poor job - lemme see. But not sure where you got width from,(only said height and length interchangeably) I need the bellhousing length/height/whatever. From the back of the engine to where it mounts to the transmission. How much it adds overall. I should be somewhere between 5" and 7". If the bellhousing is removed from the engine - and you set it on the ground face down,(large opening on the ground), and measured up to the top - that's what I need.
