Hey Guys,
Just got back from meeting with some other local TriFive gearheads. I talked about my plans to convert from automatic to a TKX.
One of the guys mentioned he had a few old bellhousings available, both early GM items. One is a stock cast iron Chevy from 57-59, and the other is an aluminum GM 3779553
originally used on the 60-62 Corvette and 61-63 hi-po 409s. I never really though about using one that old, but both have the bolt holes for mounting the z-bar bracket (which I need) and I like the idea of the removable lower cover, allowing access the clutch assembly.
I've been assured that they're both in excellent condition; no cracks or stripped out threads. Any reason not to consider them? Not that price is an object, but I know I can get either for dirt cheap.
Thanks again.
