Will this bellhousing work with any 5 speeds

Long story short, I traded some Silverstone mags for cash and a 215. I decided my 71' GT was too nice to butcher, sold it.
I have a restored 61' Willys CJ5 and kept the 215 with plans for a swap. Found this Offenhauser style T90 to 215 bellhousing.

I have decided to sell all my projects/classics to focus on my family for the time being.

I am selling the 215 and bellhousing in two markets, the engine in MG, engine, and bellhousing in Willys Jeep.
I have a local MGA guy interested in the 215, I would like to sell all parts at once and hope this Borg Warner pattern fits T5 via an adapter or else etc.

Photos too large to upload here, housing them on my OneDrive, let me know if you have issues viewing:

EDIT: Mark at D&D confirmed the bellhousing will not work in an MG conversion.

I am not so sure that it will not work. Certainly looks like it will bolt up. Hopefully, someone will know what it takes to use a T-5 with it.

Here's a OEM Buick 215 bellhousing for reference.

This pic shows the difference between T90 and GM T5.

I posted the bellhousing pic for the block bolt pattern. The trans pattern is not the Muncie/T-10/T-5 pattern. I thought I saw a T-90 adapter that may work.
