Starting to see the caddy version pretty often at the local pullapart. Seems ripe for swapping.

What transmission options are there? Same bellhousing as the old 60 degree v6 stuff?

The Caddy version is supposedly the one to get.  No the same bellhousing but one from the manual Cadillac or from the Camaro or from the .... lots of cars used this engine

Keep wondering how it would fit an MGB.

It is like all new engines such that if it needs so much as new plugs, it' cheaper to get another engine.

 

I would think that whatever manual box is in the Camaro would be the one you want. I myself am wondering what an MGB with 8 auto gears would be like?

The main reason I asked about bellhousing pattern is that the Camaro manual transmissions from the 5th generation cars command quite a bit of money. However other transmissions from older Generations don't. Hence the reason I'm trying to figure out what the transmission options really are aside from LFX native Transmissions

The LFX is really intriguing for a lot of applications.
