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?

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.
