This isn't mine but I came across this info on the Dakota Durango board. Kinda interesting:

" i found an old school gem and decided to use it just for the hell of it. its an offenhauser 2 piece bellhousing to mount a gm t5 to a big block dodge. i used the 12 inch stock flywheel and cot creative with the clutch since i was on uncharted ground. i ended up using a mcleod pressure plare diaphram style, and a (lol) 85 astrovan clutch disc! diameter and spline offered me this only option. but it grabs like hell i can assure you! the motor mounts and trans mount were all hand made from scrap."

This comes under the heading of "I didn't know you could do that". I"m curious how this turned out longevity wise. Mixing a T5 with a Big Block is kind of an iffy deal I would think.

I thought those ford T5's only held up to about 350HP. I know when people build their 302's its the first thing to go.
