C-5 from 3.8 fit 5.0?
Will a C-5 from a 3.8 fit 5.0? It seems the bolt pattern is the same. Is the bell any deeper(front to rear) to make up for shorter block? I'm not worried about hp this is just to get a old project car mobile.

RE: C-5 from 3.8 fit 5.0?
it depends on the year too!
A 94+ model is called a T5OD which is the same damn thing except the input shaft is 3/8ths inch longer, so good luck having having it match up correctly, it wont fit right at all. And if you put a 5.0 T5 on then its shorter and you will eat pilot bearings up among other problems that may occure.
Another thing that you should be aware of is that the V6 version is weaker and wont hold up as well as the GT models.

Not a T-5 a C-5 auto from a 83gl.. It appears a C-4 is around a 1-1/2in shorter than a C-5. This is a orinal 3.8,3spd. auto(no OD)hatchback I put in strorage in 96. I have a 83 ho sitting in car and the orig trans(form 3.8) is sill in back of thegarage. Before I waste a lot of time and effort I wanted to figure if this trans would work just to get car mobile for first time in a decade.

Oh it wasnt 3/8's on the T5 either it was 11/16th's
So if you ever have the need to know (Iguess) maybe I helped in some crazy 2nd dimension backwords way.... LOL
Sorry I dont know much about C-5's
A C4 or C6 then sure, but not really sure on the C5.
