2 questions - what year truck has this tranny. Also - when you say "bearing pilot hole " do you mean the large hole at the back of bellhousing where tranny mounts? thats what I was measuring. As differentiated from pilot bearing. rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Here's what I was told. "New Process overdrive 4 speed with a Chevy bolt pattern. A 69 bellhousing would have to be slightly modified to fit it, the bearing pilot hole would have to be made larger, but otherwise it fits. It is stronger than a Muncie, but not much heavier. It lets you run a 3.73, or 4.11 gear, and still cruise on the highway at 70mph in comfort." It is out of an early to mid 80's Chevy pick-em-up truck. I am going to give it a try and if there's something I don't like about it, I'll yank it and put in something else. For the price it's worth a try for what I want. A lot of long distance traveling to car shows, no racing (although I might put my foot into it once in a while.), and moderate big block power (300-375 hp). I don't know much more about it than that. I was told that the correct truck Bell Housing was a Hollander #771 and a normal housing is #554. Still undecided on which one I want, but starting to worry if what Rick said is true about not being able to open it up more than 1/8 inch. Not sure how much clearance I need yet as I haven't taken possession yet. If I can't go with the explosion proof housing I will just go stock. Thanks for the link Denny. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Michael Pell Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Where do you buy Bell Housings? What transmission are you putting in? That would help us considerably. Bellhousings are the same for SBC vs BBC. rick schaefer 72 El camino http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html ACES #00140 Team Chevelle #00038 ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
