What engine are you thinking of attaching it to? That appears to be an early flat pan hydro, not the best choice a**** the Hydramatics but again it depends what you plan to use for an engine.
Manual transmission bellhousings will not work. HydraMatic bellhousings have two pockets that mate to the transmission. I could be wrong, but I believe they are used for moving the fluid around.
