manual transmissions make it much easier to live with and will work very well with the combo above but get a blow proof Lakewood bell housing and a 30-35 lb billet steel SFI rated flywheel for safe driving without worry about you or the wife dealing with a clutch or flywheel explosion if you miss a sift and the engine sees 7000 rpm plus, and a decent baffled oil pan would be a big durability improvement over the stock crap oil pan

The dimension that you need to retain is 4.75" measured from the back of the engine block to the top of the pivot ball stud. This is the dimension of the GM bellhousing. The Lakewood is 4.870" plus the block plate it adds another .132" for a total of 5.002". That puts you .252" too deep inside the bellhousing. The adjustable Lakewood, Mr. Gasket, stud only gives you an extra .100' max over the short GM stud which is 1.48". So the most you can get with the Lakewood stud is 1.58". The GM long stud is 1.78", now you're over by .048. Should work. could take .05 off the top of pivot ball stud or shim washer between outside of bellhousing and flat rear of pivot stud. I had to deal with this before.
