Dyno Troubles - bellhousing

Hi,

I went to the dyno today with my fresh 417 stroker in tow. The first problem we ran into was not having a neutral balanced flywheel. The problem was solved by using a neutral balanced flywheel from a PONTIAC....yes pontiac bolted right on!

The next problem was a show stopper. I need a bellhousing. I was told ahead of time the std V8 bell is too tall so I picked up one for a three speed part # 3212425. That wouldn't work because the center is too small and the tranny bolts are too close together. I was told by the dyno guy that in the past when he had done AMC motors, the owner brought a bellhousing that had a GM tranny pattern on it.
Does such a thing exist? If so, what part number(s) sould I look for?
I am willing to buy, rent,lease borrow,etc one if anyone has one just so I can get this thing dyno'd.

PLEASE, any help here would be appreciated!

Yes, a scatter shield would be fine as long as the depth is OK. Do you have an old one you would like to sell/rent/?

If not. do u have an idea what year/application these Jeep bells would be so I would know what to look for?

YES, we couldn't believe it either. But, a pontiac flywheel from a 455(I beleive) lined up perfectly. We checked it with a dial indicator and it showed .010 out of round but we don't know if that is true (or thereabouts) with a true AMC flywheel.
At any rate, we thought it would be good for dyno testing but not sue about long term use as the starter would need to be shimmed....

I have a Lakewood scattershield, old deep style I think, sitting in storage that I would loan you if that helps. Bad news is I am in central Iowa, not sure where in MN you are at.

An old, long style won't work. From what it sounds like, the 6 1/2" deep one would be the one I need. Thanks anyway!

As for the Pontiac FW, we did notice the ring gear depth and were prepaed to shim the stater. This would have been a temp fix  just for the dyno session.
