Re: bellhousing wanted

There is a standard Chevy 5.7 bolt pattern, and if the OP has a Velvet drive transmission (very common on inboard ski boats) it has a standard bolt pattern, and several companies make that bellhousing.
BUT, since the OP hasn't even been back to the forums since he posted, we are all probably wasting our time typing.

Ayuh,... Which is Why I hy-jacked this thread with My questions....

I've asked these same questions in my own stand alone thread before, 'n got Zip for answers...
I'm not concerned with the motor side,...
My questions deal Only with the implement side of the housing....

Re: bellhousing wanted

Ok,.... What I'm seein', So far, is the pto end pattern is All the same....
6, 7/16" bolts, 9, 1/4" c to c, 45? from each other....

The housing I have here, 'n the 1 I gave away are from junked out ole Stringer drive motors...
These are the Same on the Pto end, 'n Chevy on the motor side....
There's the usual starter hicky on the starboardside, 'n squareish mounting blocks on each side, a lifting hook lookin' thing dead on top...
(Tahorover, yer picture shows the starter hicky, portside? )

Bob's big boat has the center motor forward, 'n jackshaft drive to the center drive,...
The assembly that adapts his BBC is the same housing I've got, 'n Merc's Pto/ bearing carrier bolted to it, 'n then the drive shaft...

It's appearin' to Me, that these housings have Alot more in Common, than their differences....
That'll open the window for the Op( If he ever returns ) to find a replacement...
The face, 'n back are the same, what can be hung from it's sides changes, slightly...

Btw,... The 1 I gave away, has an ole Paragon hung on it....

Re: bellhousing wanted

There is one company that makes the bellhousing for the BW that has the starter opening on both sides.
Volvo also used the same bolt pattern in their early housings so the bearing section could go on the Ford or Chevy engines.
BUT, there are also different ones for different trannys that don't use that pattern. I think it was Hurth or ZF, maybe both had different patterns.
