    I'm putting a M22 behind my 425 and I need a bell housing. Anyone have experience with them.



    Thanks

    I just answered my own question, found their web site. The stuff looks good, kinda spendy though. You might try talking to Pat@Wilcap, they make real nice stuff and their service and tech support is excellent.

    I've used one to put a T-5 behind a Nailhead...Pricey but a good kit

    The Bendetsen's stuff is real good. Seems to be better quality then some of the other stuff out there.

    Did you buy the kit or just the bell housing?
    I have a NOS flywheel so I just need the bell

    Bob is the best out there, good product works great! He used to display at the "hunret car pile up" but i think it got to be a chore unloading all those engines with adapters.

    I bought the kit....Matter of fact, i used a hydraulic t/o bearing instead of the clutch fork they supplied so if you need one, i have that and the regular t/o bearing

    I used Bob's trans adapter behind my 401 Nailhead to use a Chevy Turbo 400, at it all worked out good.

    High quality stuff. Bought the kit for my 401 to Saginaw trans. Fits perfectly, not driven yet. Bob will return phone calls. (great service) He can tell you if his bellhousing will work with your flywheel. Starter compatibility is an issue.Talk to Bob. Cheap price, high quality, good service and low price are possible, but not very likely.

    +1 for the kit. I got the adapter kit for mine way before the bellhousing kit. Very happy with it, had to make a call and get some info. He was super helpful. 3 years using it and very happy.

    He has built transmissions for me and they all have preformed beyond expectations.

    I used one to put a Tremec 5 speed behind and Oldsmobile J2. The kit worked perfectly.
