I've read that the bolt pattern on the bell housing end of the 2.8L V6 and the 4.0L V6 are the same.

Does any one know where I could find a dimensioned drawing of the bell housing bolt pattern for these engines??

I'm building a Franken-car, and I will have to build my own adapter to go between the engine and trans, and having a drawing would make life easier.

That's going to be a tough one to find. I looked and couldn't find anything of the sort. BTW: What is a Franken-car?

Franken-car is a made up word that references to the book and movies where Dr.Frankenstein makes a man out of spare parts he has rounded up, in this case a car made up of parts from the salvage yard that may not have been intended to go together by the manufacturer.
