Mooso, I cleaned up and moved around some photos in my web directories. Here is the bellhousing and other photos:

I have a guy looking into possibly casting 400 bell housings but I wouldn't hold my breath. He is pretty busy. Some people thinkt he bell housing is an old Can Am racing bell housing. No one knows for sure and there are no markings on it. Ford made a FMX block with a small block bellhousing but you have to search a bit for those. I think you can probably still find a few but you will probably have to do a bit of hunting. Originally I was just foing to weld up a Big block bellhousing to fit the ZF. One big think off my list!

The length front to back is the same. The bore spacing is the same as the clev. The deck height is about 1" taller. Not sure about headers yet. Looks like they will be fine but I will know for sure when I fit them. I will post updates when I do it. I am sure I will have small issues such as engine mounts, making sure accesories cleaar, etc. I don't expext anything major. Should be fun. I am just ANXIOUSLY awaiting the engine!!
