I have an extra one from an LS engine. Is that what you are looking for? I use them as a jig to line up the oil pan during assembly.

Aww, sorry, I'm in Fresno, CA so the freight would be high. I bought one on ebay and ran out of time before it showed up so I went over to my buds trans shop to borrow one. He GAVE me one
He had quite a few bellhousings from exploded cases so you might check a trans shop and see if they have one cheap or free or rent.

It's not as simple as re-drilling the block. See

Re: wanted 4160e bell housing
Yeah you have to fill the holes with bolts stake them in and redrill half a hole off centre. The only proper way to do it if you don't have a jig is in a mill with dro and mapping the locations on a chev pattern block in relation to the crank centreline and do the same positions on the 308 block. Takes way less than a mm off to just destroy any box you bolt behind itimmortality wrote:It's not as simple as re-drilling the block. See
