2.8/4.0 bell housing bolt pattern

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.
