2.8L/3.1L AND 3.8L FWD same bellhousing pattern?

[Terryk]

I have the V8 Archie stuff and the Fieroman 3800 information. Too bad the
3800 never had a manual. 3800 are more expensive in CA than V8 TPI's.

The Getrag installation is a no brainer in an X-11. Like it was meant to
be, but a year too last.

On the BOP, I've seen that thrown around. Didn't meant to look stupid (well
I rarely do, but that doesn't stop me!).

I think a 5.0 TPI is the way to go.

Thanks for the information!
