Early bellhousing
Just randomly looking for bellhousings and I came across this
At first I thought it could be a 58-60 housing since that's kind of what it looks like to me. But look how the clutch fork hole is below the starter IDK anything about early 50s bellhousings but I noticed that it has the big hole for the muncie type bearing retainer. So, did pontiac go from a big hole like this one in the early 50s then back to the small hole from 55-57 and then big hole again from 58+?

I know, I don't think it will fit either. My question was on the hole for the trans, not which motors it would fit

This one looks to me like an early 50's Chevy bellhousing OR... a Canadian Pontiac bellhousing. (which used a Chevy driveline. The casting number, which is barely readable, seems to back this up.

Not early Chevy as the starter is on the wrong side. Maybe it is old Pontiac inline 6 or 8. Don't know where the starter was on those.

It looks similar to the Pontiac unit, but the part # doesn't match the MPC part #514001 for the Pontiac L-head bellhousing , 6 or 8.
