The few that are out there, unless I am mistaken are only for the early
engines and will not fit 1500s, and they are getting scarce. Besides that I
am interested in learning this for a hobby. What about other aluminum parts
for a spit.

Patrick,
There are already aluminum bell housings around, although they are starting
to become rather scarce. Actually, there are two types.
One is thinner than the other. OBviously, the preferred one is the thicker
one. If you could get one of those and copy it, you should
be in fine shape. Whether there is a great demand for them is another
question. If the price is right, you shouldn't have any problem
getting rid of them.
