Installing the Canfield Industries 5.0 bell housing to 2.3 block adapter plate. |
Unpacking and inspection:
I purchased the plate
from the website Contents do not include SAE starter bolts used on the 5.0 bell housing, the two bottom bolts that attach the bell housing front plate to bell housing. You will also need to purchase a 5.0 clutch cable. Of course you will need the E6 5.0 bell housing, 5.0 clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. A 5.0 flywheel will need to be purchased, I purchased the Spec flywheel from Stinger Performance, see below.

Summary: I had to purchase a 5.0 clutch cable and install it under the dash. Make sure you have the starter bolts for the 5.0 bell housing, they are SAE, not Metric. You will also need the two bolts that bolt the bell housing to front cover on the bottom of the bell. I actually reused the 2.3 starter. It bolts in the 5.0 bell housing and works just fine.
