It could exist, but since swapping the bellhousing is easy, that's the way most people would do it.
Why do you want to keep the bellhousing.
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more... It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |

If it were me I would change the whole drivetrain. Perhaps I can talk him into that. Chassis Engineering has pretty much everything I need I believe. The only thing is this is a 1ton truck so I am not sure of the difference in the frame compared to a 1/2 ton . Anyway I can build my own mounts and so forth. It would be less headache to fit a 235 54-up in the truck but Ihave a 283 powerpack and thought of using it. I am still looking for the 235 If you know of one ready to go . It don't have to be newly rebuilt, just a good runner will do .
