Well thanks much Jim.  I know that the back of the engine has a bolt
on flywheel housing.  So the flywheel housing for the BDs in the
mediums have the SV style pattern?  Hmmm.  That's exactly what I need
to get.

I have two T35s, both rebuilt, both with SV bellhousings(off 392).  I
need either a bellhousing that matches the pattern currently on the
back of my BD264 and the T3x, or a flywheel housing for the BD that
matches the SV pattern.

Otherwise it's modification time(to the SV bellhousing).

I guess it's time to start looking for that flywheel housing.
