All 62-67 Nova aluminum bell housings have the 7 o'clock fork position and are approximately 6 5/16" deep. All use 153 tooth flywheel
62-63 Bell Housings cast #3788383
62-63 bell housings were used on 6 cyl engines with 3 speed on the column manual transmissions. These have the smaller hole, approximately 4 3/16, of the two bell housings and the Muncie transmission will not fit into this smaller hole.
So most bellhousings have the fork at 9 o'clock. On The acadians they moved it for better clearance I'm asuming . what size clutch can you get in there. And you need a different starter position. I'm considering
Doing a 4 spd in one of my 66 acadians. I think I may need this.

You can only use the small clutch, flywheel and starter on a Nova. But it works fine. I had a 66 SS 327 4 speed with the 10.5" clutch and drove the tar out of it. The stock clutch took everything I could give it!
