Asking for a friend.

The bellhousing pattern in the back of the block is not Chevy, the pattern doesn't match up to any automatic that I know of. ATI, Kowalsky Racing, etc.. make an adapter, or a mid-mount can be fabricated to adapt. Some crankshafts are Chevy pattern, some are Ford, some were altogether different (Penske). You already have a class in mind, but I think with the R5 block layout they would make a killer SS/AS combo.

I am not familiar with the R5. Does it have the standard bore spacing of a small block mopar? I think the standard bore spacing must be retained.
