I installed a new and correct flywheel 14 inches in radius . I was told that I need a 621 bellhousing, is this correct. If so does anyone on the list have one for sale? Thanks Joe P.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bellhousing question
Joe, no numbers that I see unless I am not looking in the right place. I can tell you the flywheel that was on the truck was a 14". I have the complete shot clutch, pressure plate and flywheel on a shelf with the bellhousing. Hope that helps. Carl Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo!

Carl, Any #'s stamped on the Bellhousing? Joe
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bellhousing question
Joe, I don't know the number of the bellhousing but it came off a 79 C10. Sounds good on the brackets, let me know. Carl New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bellhousing question
I already ordered the bellhousing today, your truck bellhousing is it a 661?? If you wait some guy next week wants my 350 engine if he doesn't take the brackets which I think he will not, then I will be glad to sell you my brackets Joe P.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Bellhousing question
Joe, I will trade you even up a truck bellhousing for the AC bracket you have that I need. Let me know. How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messengers low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Bellhousing question
You don't need to have a 621 bellhousing, you can use a 444 casting as well. Dig deep if you are after a 621 housing. You can use a truck bellhousing also, you just need a bushing on the bearing retainer since the hole is a bit bigger. Tom

RE: [Chevelle-List] Bellhousing question...
Gents, I know this one. It's weird, but true..I know because I have one! In the beginning of the 80's GM started buying "New Process" trannies from Chrysler and made the 4th gear in these trannies less than a 1:1 ratio to improve gas milage and I assume to meet the new tougher federal fuel economy requirements. Just a guess on why here. So the bolt pattern fits on GM engines and supposedly this thing will swap out straight with a TH350 because they are the same exact length when all is said and done...or within a 1/4 inch or so, from what I have read. In any case, up until somewhere between the mid and late 80's these 4 speed trannys were used in the Chevy Trucks. They are obviously beefier in at least some respects than a car tranny. How much and in what ways I am not sure, not an expert on them here, but I do have some resources on the net bookmarked on them. I have that same exact bellhousing or I might be bidding on that one. I bought it for the fact that I was told it was a stronger tranny AND the fact that 4th gear is an overdrivewill make for better mileage on long trips to car shows. I don't have mine in yet, and have yet to find someone that have put one in and has used it yet. Several are in the process of doing so however. I find it interesting because the 396 engine I bought came out of a truck as well. Now all I need is a truck posi unit for the rear and I can really "HAUL" in my Chevelle :) Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of NoNeck Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Bellhousing question...
