From what I can tell, it is all wrong as it was made for a 12" clutch and 143 tooth flywheel. I am pretty desperate for a bell housing and pulled the trigger on this one before reading up on it. Can I make this thing work?

Can I make this thing work? It does not even have the A833 bolt pattern. It can only be used with the long fork, E body uses the short fork. Then there is also the issue of the ballstud location, and the 5.125" retainer bore. Sorry, no way to make it work.

I only paid $160 so I think I will get my money back in time. ANYONE know where I could find a deal on a BB bellhousing that will work? (Brewers has been great to me on the parts I have bought by the way. I love you guys and I appreciate the response)

So when your looking at used bells check for stripped holes or cracks you don't see until its cleaned. Dowel holes can be a problem on aluminum bells also.
