         The elusive dual pattern bellhousings refered to the transmission
pattern and input bearing retainer diameter that was changed at the same
time as the 5 bolt to 6 bolt block attachment.  I've never seen both block
patterns on a bellhousing.  They also changed the flywheel diameter so the
application to a 6 bolt block would require the earlier smaller diameter
flywheel and clutch assembly.  To the best of my knowledge, neither
Lakewood nor Anson ever made the pressed steel housing inthie configuration
you describe.
