The Buick,Oldsmobile,Pontiac "882" is an all aluminum
Bellhousing.
These
clutch and flywheel assembly covers were manufactured for multiple
applications,
as evidenced by two starter housings and dual
transmission mounting bolt patterns.
In 1965 General Motors
used Dearborn built (Ford) 3 speeds as a heavy duty option to the
Muncie 3 and 4 speed trans on some models.
Instead of casting
different bells they made these more universal.
