The ZF6 will bolt up no problem. Whats a bg 6 speed? The only one that I know of used in F-bodies was a T-56.

You can use the 4+3 BH and Hydraulics, Clutch FW etc.

The ZF6 bolts up to the ZF6 bellhousing no problem, but not to the 4+3 bellhousing.

I converted a '87 4+3 coupe to ZF 6-speed with all the parts that came out of a 1994 wreck. I used an article I am sure I have somewhere that tells how to do this conversion. I can FAX it to you when I located it. I think it was written by the ZF Doctor (see below) out west, maybe in Arizona.

E-mail billb@zfdoc.com or call Bill Boudreau at (602) 319-6575.

Good luck.

Did you use the stock ball pivot stud or the ZR1 stud?

Clutch disc was a sprung or unspring disc?

New clutch slave?

New Yoke ?

Cut the tunnel?

Speedo corrector for the 3.07 gear?

Not trying to be a but, just trying to relay all of the info to the OP
