In your first post you say it fits the SM465 bellhousing don't you mean SM420.
I guess I'm going to have to walk this statement back. After mocking this up with the Astrovan clutch kit I don't believe anyone has used that clutch without needing a spacer. The clutch hub is biased more to the rear than the one from the SM326.
It's obviously been done with a different clutch however. We bought my wife's truck with a T5 already installed with no spacer involved. I don't know what clutch it has installed, but I can tell it's a much smaller clutch. I imagine it's probably the 9 1/8 inch clutch from an S10.
