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...

[Chevelle-List] Bellhousing question...
I am cleaning out my garage because we are moving, and I'm listing a bunch of stuff on Ebay. I am getting rid of an aluminum bellhousing that I had on my 454 with 11 inch clutch. All the ones on ebay are 681's, but this is part number 460486. Anybody know anyhting about this bell? I thought only the 681's were for the big clutch, but this one looks almost identical to the 681. I believe it was from a 72 Chevelle originally but I cant find any other casting numbers on it. Even the 460486 seems like a weird number as it is a different configurarion than usual .Didn't most Chevy numbers start with 3? and have 7 digits? If anyone here is interested, I have pics. I'll take any reasonable offer also. Thanks! Josh Gin (NoNeck) Visit my Chevelle website www.NoNecksChevelle.com

[Chevelle-List] rear end setup
Guys , maybe someone can help me out. On my 64 El Camino I'm trying to find out what the rear end came out of. My friend says it not a 64 but an 80 model as someone has written 80 on the rear end cover with one of those yellow markers used in junk yards. It is a 10 bolt posi. I wonder where the numbers whould be on it and if I could find them how would I know where to look to find out what kind of car it came out of? He thinks maybe grand prix . Any ideas? Thanks , Vernon ACES# 05503
