The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline GM bellhousing for MS 420 question

I am doing a 235 swap and going with a MS 420 with the closed drive shaft. What bellhousing if any fits the 420 and still has the clutch and brake petal mount?

It is best to include the year and size of your truck in your questions.

Hy NRC, welcome, while cletis is correct that the year and size of the truck in question is very important, there is no factory bellhousing that will allow the SM420 and has the mounts for the clutch and brake pedal. One of the members here came up with a plate that can be bolted to the flat machined surface of the bellhousing and support the clutch/brake pedal. I couldn't find the postings about the plate yet but I'll keep looking.

Hy NRC, search "tired of double clutching" for the plate made by Marvin Ribbich, hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies.I want to put this in a 31, 1 1/2 ton but I'm trying to keep the original look to the truck.The petals is what makes it harder. I thought I'd ask here because I couldn't find a bellhousing or post and knew someone must have tried this before. Thanks 3B

I just removed the cast part with the 3 bolt casting from an old housing and welded it on the correct bellhousing, Ni rod, pre and post heat, could also braze, used NP-540 trans.
