I just rebuilt a 4.3 for my 86 s-10 blazer. Will my T-5 fit with the right bellhousing. Found a new one at a G.M. dealership. Just was wondering about the shaft on th front of the tranny. Is it too long or short?

 

The bellhousing dimensions on the back of the engine are the same as any small block chevy.

 

I know the bellhousings are the same.I talkin about the input shaft of the transmission that goes into the torque converter and or the clutch. I want to the difference in thedepth of the bellhousings from a 2.8L to a 4.3L ? I was told that the2.8 had a deeper bell than the 4.3L. andI might have to cut the input shaft to get the tranny w/ bellhousing to bolt together.
