Mike,
If you do have a GM bellhousing the bolt holes on the bottom should be 9
1/8" apart, the top ones should be 8 1/4" appart and the distance from the
bottom row to the top row should be 4 7/8". My source for the measurements
is Issue IV Vol. 1 of the MG V-8 Newsletter. If the ears on your front case
doesn't have the same measurements it probably isn't a GM transmission. The
bolt holes in the GM bellhousing are 1/2", but the ones on the GM T-5 a tad
smaller. I reamed mine out to 1/2 " with a electric hand drill and then it
bolted up perfectly. Hope this helps.
