Steel Bellhousing For a Truck Tranny?

[MaxCrack]

I am looking for a steel bell housing that actually fits the Chevy truck transmission. Anyone know of a source?

Thanks

Ditto that. I'd like to find an SFI approved bellhousing that could be drilled for an NV4500.

I'm not aware of one that has either the spigot hole size or the bolt pattern(s) for truck transmissions. That isn't too big a deal though. Any competent machine shop should be able to bore the spigot hole to the correct truck size. Best bet there would be to bring a truck b/h for them to measure.

Typically the mfg's tag some small tabs on the inside to add thickness where the trans mount bolts thread in.

The one issue I see is with those trans' that have the lower two bolts that come thru from the clutch side & thread into the trans case. Since scattershields are full circle, access to those bolts might be a bit of a pain.

I've always wondered if you could machine a SM465 bellhousing to fit a NV4500.

I called Lakewood about four months ago about this, and I got a reply back that they dont make one. Maybe they could custom fab one, but I bet it would cost some $$$$$

May as well just buy one and modify it. Once in a while you can find one used. I'd take on the project if you were closer. It's really not that big of a deal, but you do need some specialized tools (mill w/ boring head).
