94-95 bellhousing

It will work temporarily as long as you drive like a grandma

Were the '98's still running the T-5s?

I was wondering if they used the tremec like in the newer models (3550?) because then you would need the 94-95 bellhousing that is modified to fit those tremec trannies. If it's a T-5 just a plain ole 94-95 bellhousing would work... actually the bellhousing from the V6 should fit. I do believe the bolt pattern on the 232 is the same as the 302. They're both windsor blocks. So check that out before you buy a new bellhousing.
