I decided while I have the transmission out to put in a Lakewood blowproof bellhousing for safety.
I found this one on eBay for $160 complete with block plate, shift fork, and pivot ball (would cost over $350 new for all these parts), but it has the smaller 4.8" input hole (my trans has the 5" bearing retainer). So I will need to swap to a smaller input bearing retainer available here. I just need to figure out the bolt circle on my trans.
I'll take the bellhousing somewhere to get blasted and I'll repaint it while I'm painting the tranny.
