Sorry - I got the question wrong.
removable bell housing = easier IMHO.
With that said - it all comes down to matching tranny length to DS length. The center of the drive shaft has 2-3" of splines so that give you a tiny bit of room to work with. As you can imagine, you don't really want to mess with that measurement too much. It's made to slip back and forth with the motor, that's all.
When I had my drive shaft cut for a g265 w/removable bellhousing - and then tried to use a 260, the drive shaft was too short and the splines wouldn't even touch. So I sourced another g265. Does that Jerid Squires(spelling?) site have more info?
Don't get too dismayed over all of this. Once you are done, you LOVE the TQ - it's amazing. It's becomes so fun just to point the car, and step on the gas and your there.
