Also the Hemi uses a didect drive starter while the 383/440 use the gear reduction starter; different mounting pad. ----------------------- It was from a discussion on the differences in bellhousings between Hemi's and B/RB motors. Apparently, the Hemi uses a unique 8-bolt 172 tooth flywheel, a unique bellhousing and unique starter. Here's the link: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/4817811/site_id/1 That explains a lot and very helpful. It probably explains why the perfectly good original bellhousing was not in the car but came with it, and the car had a different one in it. Have to look at it and see what it is. The owner passed away and his brother couldn't tell me much about any of it. Thank you for the great response. Wolfe
