One part in my pile is a bell housing from an 8ba with a heavy duty four speed behind it. Are these of any use for transmission conversions?

If the bell housing is a hogshead then its useful for running a a T5 .

Hogsheads go for around $100 to $150 on ebay. You can use them to adapt a lot more than just the T5s, but that is one common use for them.

If its.the T98 4 speed, yes it is valuable. If its the common 4 speed, then the hogshead is worth more the the entire transmission
