i found a bellhusing to a 331 cadillac without trans what will fit here and is there any adaptor.complete with flywheel and clutch
Are you sure it's a standard transmission bell housing? The hydramatics of that time had a detatchable bell that might be mistaken for one for a manual transmission. If it is a manual housing, it will work with transmissions from '37-'53 Cadillac, '37-'40 LaSalle, and '50 Oldsmobile V8 cars. With the '37 floor shift transmission, a hole would have to be drilled in it for the sliding shaft that comes out the front of the passenger side front.
bellhusing came complete with trans but trans was sold.sorry no pictures.i have 2 hydromatic bellhusing this is standard trans
This is a 50 Olds bell, 51 looks similar but is different. And here is a link to a thread that shows the 51 bell with a selector tranny worth reading: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=483897&highlight=lasalle
