that's the 'shortstar' [3/4 northstar] right?

afaik most/all gm engines since the '80s have the little chevy v6
pattern, so in theory they should bolt in, -but-
1. dunno the flexplate/flywheel situation.
2. starter location.  in the northstar it's in the valley between
	cylinder banks.

otoh i've also just learned that as of the mid-'90s -gm- was using
-ford- cased t5s!  this was in a long, info-packed thread on
jeeps-offroad.com started by 'greg55_99'.  and isuzu has a converter
housing that'll match the gm bolt pattern to the aw4 - though '87-'93?
4-cyl xjs do too.
