Re: Overdrive tranny for sale

Greg,

Ok. You're right.

 I should have said that the bellhousing is part of the transmission.  A
single casting.  The bellhousing bolts directly to the rear of the engine
block.  I don't know if the block was changed for the tranny or the tranny
changed to match the block.  But there's nothing there that looks like any
kind of separate adaptor.
