[Gmecm] Bellhousing Design-Iron Duke

[Jason M.]

I'm almost positive that the 2.3L quad 4 (or later 2.4L) still used the 
"metric" bell housing pattern, as found on 4 cylinder and 2.8 v6 s-10's, 4 
cylinder, 2.8, 3.1 or 3.4 v6 camaro's and firebirds.  An s-10 with a 4.3v6 
has the same bell housing pattern as a v8 (the GM/chevy pattern).

Really not sure about the saturn, I'd assume that they stuck with the same 
bell housing as most GM stuff, but then again saturn has to be different.

Wonder what bell housing pattern is used on the honda v6 in a Saturn vue? 
Probably just used a honda transmission too.
