I have the stock 4 on the floor but going to replace with a s10 t-5 trans and nova rear end. Im pretty sure the 49 bellhousing wont be a problem just curious about clearence up front by the radiator and if the motor mounts are the same. Any and all help will be much appreciated!!! thanks all!

But this has been done hundreds of times and I think you'll be happy with the results. | | |
