Picked up the parts today. It is exactly as I expected. At this point it is a rectangle. I don't want to cut the final shape until I determine the layout and hole locations to insure there is adequate material. I may need to machine some of the bellhousing center to allow for the TO bearing. After cutting and drilling(but before tapping) the plate I'm going to have it surfaced to insure it's flat and parallel. I did not want to do any cutting or welding on the bellhousing and affect it's integrity. The 7.85" T5 input shaft gave me enough length to use a interface plate without cutting the bellhousing. total cost:$265
