B.B to 518 / S.B trans

I did the JW bell putting a 518 in a 72 B body.That was before the adapter kits came out. Worked for us.The JW bell is heavy thick so a stock 12'' converter will not fit.We went with a 10''. Not sure if a 11'' may work.Something that we didn't do was bond the new bell to the case with something like JB Weld for looks and a bit more strength.Though not necessary.
