Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I will go with the steel bell housing.

Next question, in order to get around emissions laws in my state; I have to put a 67 or older 390 in my kit. So, are there any special 390's 1967 or older that I should be looking for? I wan to buy a rebuild able engine, but I am only interested in the short block portion as I am going to buy Edelbrock Aluminum heads and intake. SO when I am looking for blocks, 1967 and older, is there any particular model/ number that I should try to find?

Thanks
