I'm looking into getting a newer engine to replace my 289 with a c4. To my understanding, the newer engines need 6 bolt bellhousing. I did some seaching on eBayMotors and it seems like there are several different styles of 6 bolt bell housings. Any one here know (and/or have one for sale) which one I need to get that will work with the existing C4?
 
there are two comon types of bells, small and large. you would want the small bell for a 157 tooth flywheel, most of these will be early bellhousing anyways and should be a direct fit on your c4. the large bell in most cases will aslo fit but you may need to change the trans bit to fit the newer stlye converter and 164 tooth flywheel.
