I'm now on the lookout for a decent one...but what I'm wondering, is if the current bellhousing will work. Ive heard from some that it will, and some say it wont. My truck is a 1961 half ton Chevy with a 4 speed, with hydraulic clutch, the fork being on the passenger side. Will this original bellhousing bolt up to a 350 or will I have to find something else?

I don't own a vehicle that isn't old enough to drink.

I may end up doing that...wish I took pictures of that setup now..
