Bell Housing
Hi Guys. Is there a Bellhousing that is solid. Meaning no hole in the middle for a drive line? Say you had a snout driven V-Drive. The flywheel is in the back. What do you use to cover the thang? Links or pics would be very nice.
Also. What would you do to run a alternator? The snout is covered with the tube. I was thinking stringer mount the alt and fix a pully on the flywheel. These two things are on the same boat so I am not sure what to do.
Thanks. EVIL.
late 50's powerglide adapter...gm part..maybe early 60's...I can't remember.
2x 0n the power glide adapter. if you know some one with a machine shop, you could have them machine the rear plate of the pg adapter to drive the alternator off the flywheel flange. (some one might post some pics)
The adaptor looks like this, and the motor plate bolt to the adaptor instead of the block, thereby blocking of the back of the adaptor. Not sure machining one of these for an alternator is the best way. I had considered it. But the drive shaft tube doesn't cause a problem with running an alternator. The tube stops short of the damper/PTO anyway. What difference does it make if the whole assembly is 3/4 closer to the v-drive. The PTO is still the forward must part on the snout. Shorten the tube.

I have a half powerglide adapter you can see it in this its about 1 or 1 1/2 inches thick I think
I took this pic awhile back because of this setup, didnt know what that little adapter was ...... mystery solved. I think this boat owner is on here so
maybe he can add something.

Here is one with the aluminum cut open for access and for Alternator drive. I have one that is completely covered, but I do not care for it. Here I can draw timing marks and turn the engine over more easily for valve adjustment etc. And yes ... the flywheel is really close. I might machine it down.
I don't know what I don't know because I forgot !!!

Hey Bob. What does it look like?
I can't believe I forgot to post the pic. Mdsheppie did post a pick but here is another one that isn't cut.

Need help finding this 1973 Sanger 18'6" bubble deck mahogany bottom and stringers I was living in Pomona when I sold her in 1979. Just wonder if she still exists
