Did you ever think to make a pattern yourself and get a local foundry
(there were such things....) to pour it and get an auto machine place
to face it off on a Van Norman block mill? Like an old codger I know
did when he built a Ferrari powered pulling tractor. It was based on a
small Allis Chalmers. He had a big AC with a RR Merlin/Meteor mutt and
wanted one for the smaller classes, they looked like scale models.

But your story about spending $800 on a bellhousing while earning $3200
a year, three months salary, means you are either a bullshitter or a
nut. NOBODY spends THREE MONTHS SALARY on a frigging bellhousing when
the OBVIOUS ALTERNATIVE like using a Lincoln engine MADE to bolt to a
HydraMatic, they made them, or a Packard or a Cadillac, would have been
a whole lot cheaper.

I was a Hot Rodder, hooked on drag racing, and being the fastest in
north county San Diego. And it didn't take me long to drop in a 462"
lincoln to insure that position until drafted, when I got out I was
blown away by a stock eleven second Camaro:
http://www.camaros.org/copo.shtml Then switched to four wheeling,
something a little more affordable, that would carry my babies.
