Thread: Identify your transmission bell

    adapter question

    Hey Bob ,I bought a sleeve that is made to be use to adapted a 400 flex plate for a nailhead.You grind off the larger centering ring (or have it turned in a lathe)then either have it pressed in or drive it in . Have you heard of this type of sleeve? It also keeps the converter centered.

    a lot of Jeeps used Buick v6 and v8 engines in the late 60's and early 70's. check with those guys about what they are using.

    also, you can buy adapter plates to bolt up a standard Chevy/GM corp 6 bolt trans to the BOP bell so any GM/Chevy trans could be made to work.

    Jeep used the old round bell housing transmission (nailhead) in some of their wagoneers for a while after Buick discontinued it in '66 . It wasn't a s/p though. It was mounted to the back of the Jeeps V8 (AMC and/or 350 Buick??) with an adapter. So, there is a source for more of the nailhead type trannies out there than were originally produced up through '66.

    Take a look at this link and see what you think of the bell housing.

    yes, Jeep used Buick 350 v8s and 225 oddfire v6s ( Dauntless ) from the late 60s to 71(?). obviously this raises the possibility of a viable 4 wheel drive for a Buick car but i think i'd be leery of trying to adapt a rock crawler trans to a strip or road track car.


    Take a look at this link and see what you think of the bell housing.

    yeah, that has that round Nail look to it. weird that AMC would contract for a defunct bell housing and then use adapter plates for every application they put it in.


    Ed, you've posted several good, oddball pieces of information. keep it coming man, it's great to see.

    jeep trans

    I had a 79 Cherokee at the time I didn't know ,but I now recognize the bell housing pattern as a nail head bolt pattern.They also used Chrysler transmission too. This was bolt to a AMC 360 CID engine
