Wondering if a BB bellhousing would work adapting a T5 to a B block the same way an AA bellhousing works with an A block? I know you would have to use the B oil pan as well...

Or would it be better to adapt an A flywheel housing to the B block and use the AA bellhousing?

You have to have wishbone and pedal adapters.

The pedal adapter should come with the bell housing to trans adapter since you would need it with the AA or BB bell housing.

If going into an A, it will work but needs rear engine mounts, pedal mount, wishbone mount, etc. If going into a B, just needs rear trans/engine mount.

Thanks Jim! Forgot about rear engine mounts! I'll hold out for an AA unit!

Are the stock rear mounts the same for the A's and AA's ? Don't have a parts book handy.
