Any of you guys have a "used" bellhousing for a BBC? The condition of the bellhousing doesnt matter bacuse its getting powdercoated. Please let me know if someone has one...
Thx,396

BBC, SBC same thing. Are you looking for a stick type bellhousing, or for a Powerglide type spacer/housing. All Chevy rear bolt patterns are the same except for the early 217/235 6 cylinders with automatics. Other than those every chevy in the whole world has the same bolt pattern in the rear.......MP

Ray, he just needs a flywheel cover for his ditch pump, putting in motor plates and stuff!..

So what he needs is a P/G adaptor?.......My jet housing is short, but has side mounting holes like the truck housings from the 60s that didn't use a crossmember under the trans. I don't think I have what he needs, but until I know what he needs, I can't be sure...........Ray

Ray, he just needs to cover the flywheel the plates will be made accordingly, either a PG adaptor or a flywheel cover, something like this!..

Be careful putting any flywheel type cover as shown due to interference with the starter housing and rail. The jet boat engines sit lower and we have seen a problem in this area almost every time we put a rail kit in a jet boat

Thanks for the info, I was just using that one as an example. I realize the motor sits lower in those, but I'll be doing it circle boat style and that type cover may just fit??..
