Bellhousings
I found a bellhousing for my BB from Keisler Auto. for $289.
I haven't been able to find many other suppliers to compare.
Is this a competative price?

Whenever I want to get an idea about what market pricing is on anything I use ebay as a resource. For example; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
Whether or not you want to buy from ebay doesn't matter, it's a reflection of the market for price and availability, and sometimes you can learn about things you didn't know about. If you've never used ebay here's some searching tips. Don't just type in the search description in the way you first think of it. If I were looking for what you are I would probably search for
bb chev bellhousing
bb chev bell housing
bb chevy bellhousing
bb chevy bell housing
bb cheverolet bellhousing
etc.
big block chev......etc.
Then 396 bellhousing
and 427, 454, etc.
Then of course there's misspellings..........but that's way too much of a pain in the butt to play with.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

As I understand all big blocks have the same bolt pattern for the bell, so if this is a bb bell it should work for me. That being the case I just need to find out if it will bolt up to a TKO 5 speed or a T56 6 speed, which are the two trans. I am deciding between.

I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
