The v-10 bellhousing is useless. You have to use a Lakewood, and I believe they only make them for big block applications. However you can buy a small block one and cut down the imput shaft bearing cover to fit inside the hole in the bellhousing. Then set the tranny on it, mark the holes and drill them. Then weld some nuts on the backside or 1/4" pieces and drill and tap the holes for your mounting bolts. The Lakewoods are set up to run a manual clutch I think you can buy parts from Mcleod to convert it to hydraulic. Whatever the tranny comes out of, that's what clutch you have to use. I don't know if all the imput shafts are the same, I believe the cummins has a different one. No conversion parts place, get a drveshaft made at a driveline shop.
