help , can anyone tell me what kind of SFI bellhousing will fit my 69 nova with sb 350 , block mounted starter and 11 inch clutch & flywheel behind my borg warner St10 4 speed ? mcleod does not seem to list one and the only one i can find of lakewood says 64-67 nova ?

What's wrong with the McCleod 8630? They use it in Camaros which means it should work in Novas.

8630

the mcleod 8630 says chev v8 1955-81 except chevy 2 & nova , i dont know why

That usually refers to 1st and 2nd gen cars I believe.

Yes, I am. I run a ST10 as well in my '72. Take a look at QuickTime. I run one of their bellhousings, but can't remember the part number. It is a very nice piece.

It was pretty easy. No special parts needed, unlike the Lakewood unit. It comes with the pivot ball. I bought a new clutch fork from Lakewood though, but it was a GM stock replacement. I think yours should work fine.

The only hard part about it was the firewall to socket-head screw clearance. If you have the engine out, install it before you put the engine in. Other than that, it's a nice piece.

The lakewood one is the one that I used to run in my 69 with a BB. It will fit BB or SB. I also used to run one of their heavy duty forks.

The Lakewood part # is 15000
The most common bell housing ever sold!
McLeod part # 8630

The reference for the Chevy II Nova is reference for 62-67 That has a different clutch fork location.
