Bellhousing ls3-t5wc what works? I have an 11" Spec clutch and need to go from the LS3 to my new G-forceT5 trans. Looking at this but no info for what size clutch?

There are plenty of options from the ones above to some stock castings. Look in the hybrids section, there are a few pertinent threads...

If it has the same bolt pattern as T-10 or a TKO, Mcleod and Quick-time both have a bell housing.
May I ask...Why T5? Is that what your car originally had? A TKO or T-56 would be a much better trans and cost less $$

The bolt pattern is much different for a WC Chevy T5 remember they sit at that 17 degree angle (I believe the Mustang version sits straight as where I got confused at first). Feel free to post up a link if you find something.

The RM-6037 you linked lacks the 17deg. trans. pattern.
First, look into the RM-6018; they say it's pattern is 23 degrees, but someone may have made a typo that has proliferated over the years of catalogs.
Lakewood makes a dual-trans-bolt-pattern scatternshield for 84-92 F-bodies. It's not new. It accepts the external slave cylinder used in those. There are different slave bore options IIRC for the 93-97 F, and the Cavalier. If you're going hydraulic, that would be a simple way to go.
They also make one for 82-83 F-bodies. Again, dual straight-up and 17deg angled muncie patterns. It has mechanical fork provisions at an angle that suit the 78-up A/G intermediates and 82-83 F. So that may not exactly suit yours, but welding in a new ballstud provision and windowing for the fork to are all that would be required for you to have one that will work with the 168 wheel / mech. linkage / unangled fork.
