SBO bellhousing

[CamaroAdam73]

Does anybody know a good place to get ahold of a decent priced used/new one? From what i can tell any bellhousing from a 70's olds small black should work, i'm trying to use a muncie M22 with an oldsmobile 403.

I've been looking online but the only things i can find cost 500$ and up :|


I think i found an adapter kit that might work to use my SBC bellhousing with the SBO.

It goes from a BOP bolt pattern to chevy Bolt pattern, but it's for automatics. i wonder if it would still work?

I'll check with our race car owner, he rebuilds munices for race cars all the time and he buys whatever is out there for sale. I know he's got some bell housings so I'll see what he has.

Thanks dude, if i can get the cost down i can probably run the M22 instead of a Turbo 350.

Just a quick search on eBay, there are more on there. Not sure if they bolt up to a m22 or not tho.

Last night i kept searched ebay using the wrong terms, yeah they're not hard to come by.

As much as i'd love to run this M22 again i just don't see it happening. It goes so far in the other direction of being able to be driven daily VS staying with the freshly built Th350. plus it would be a greatly added cost after everything.

I havn't got an answer back yet. He's at work and will check when he gets home. If he doesn't have one he may stil be able to get one. We have more friends than enemies in the racing world

I appreciate the effort man but don't bother, given other factors i'm sticking with the Automatic :|

he doesn't have one anyway....but it's something to keep you eye open for one tho, nothing like a stick in these cars

Nothing like an M22 in any car lol 😛, that trans is a whole different animal than most. The M22 has only one downside and that's lack of O/D.
