That's what I did for my BB, principle is the same though, although I needed to hold down oil pump drive.

That one will work but it is thicker than stock so it requires a different hold down. It was designed for storage, not use in a running engine.
AR364 is a similiar design but has a thin top that fits the stock hold down. Then there is a short shaft version for 383 engines and a long shaft one for RB engines. I don't have a SB version at the moment but one of the others could probably be modified to work.
Best Machine usually has them in stock. They buy parts like this since they typically build higher end engines with goodies like belt drive pumps, dry sump setups, belt driven distributors, etc.

Andy small block and RB are very close in length so it wouldn't be hard to tweak the RB to have it work in a smallblock.

 Thanks for the info.
When I looked at your web site, I only found 221 and 295 with the extension down to the oil pump drive.

I had a customer request a short version so I built a batch of the new AR364 parts. I have them in stock but the website hasn't been updated yet.
