If I remember right, trucks using the big block motors used a bellhousing with a removable inspection cover. I remember they were quite heavy as they were cast steel- not aluminum.

Do not think I would have used it in this application! I have just a 5.0 in my CR1 and really stressed on using the stock alum bell housing- but I do not intend to race it. Just street cruising with this "old man" behind the wheel.
