Technical What's it worth? 303 Olds Manual Bellhousing

Got this little project and want to keep the motor and peddle the rest to a rat rodder... hopping the manual bellhousing will pay for another automatic trans... can you guys tell me what it's worth... Someone adapted a jeep or something trans to it.

Bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel and starter are all together.

 

olds to gm trans? $300 or so. Wilcap wants $475

 

Yea I'm not sure what trans that is... someone identified it as a 70s jeep I think.

 

from what I see the engine and bellhousing are all I would keep

is the bellhousing one meant for a secondary plate adapter?
I did have one at one time, it had a protruding lip at the input opening..

whatever.. Beachcomber is about right at $300

of course me being an absolute cheapskate
I would never pay that much for a used one, if I was looking.

if it were mine I'd throw it on the pile till I needed it.

 

What trans would bolt up to that Paul? I have access to a muncie.

 

I do not think you can tell what will fit without taking the trans off. Gary

 

Most of the modified examples are hogged out for different bearing retainers.

 

Depending on the Jeep it could take Ford toploader, GM pattern, or who knows what. I'd check it out and go from there. Jeeps seemed to use whatever trans they could buy cheapest in a given year.

 

Thanks fellas!! Thank you RustyNY!

 

If it were a 215, it would be real good money.

If it's a Jeep trans it might be a t-90 (I think???) which is the same as a T-5 GM pattern. Could be good money.

 

Yep I'll get some more pics of the trans and y'all can figure out what I got then!!!

Thanks for the help!

See if these pics help?

 

Not a factory Olds part ... McBar sold a bunch of this early stuff. Heathen will know ...

 

looks just like my old one,
made the steel plate adapter myself
to put a Chevy transmission behind a 394

tried to find a picture
but back then it was all Kodak Instamatic
and I didn't stop to take a lot of pictures

 

The adapter is a TransDapt. As mentioned, dis-assembly should tell you what it fit originally. There's also part number on it....JC-something....if it's JC-25, it's Olds to Chevy pattern.

I've seen these for a bunch of different transmissions. Some more info here...
