    Got a question for you guys,I have two different Buick bellhousings for manual trans.One has the bulge on both sides for starters so maybe it fits both Buick/Olds and also has a half round opening on bottom of bellhousing for dust cover.I think maybe Mike's repro dust cover would fit this bellhousing but haven't seen one of his in a while.The other bellhousing I have has starter bulge on passenger side only and no half round opening on bottom so I think maybe this is Buick only bellhousing.My question is what is correct year/application for each of the bellhousings?

    thats a 64-67 Sbb and V6 bellhousing. it will work on 455's with no clearance issues and will accept a 12" clutch

    I think they fit a 300 also. It carries its own part number.

    Knew someone would come through!! Thanks. I just got the pictured bellhousing and 3 spd and haven't had the chance to even clean it up yet.Storms last night had me without electric all night.

    Yes, that's the same single starter bulge bellhousing that I used on my '71 455 to get clearance for slave cylinder actuation of the clutch fork.
