Friendliest Salvage Yard EVER!!! Misgen Auto Parts Ellendale, MN
 

So I need a really weird bellhousing for my really weird NP833 GM O/D 4 speed trans. They're not exactly rare as hens teeth but definitely an oddball item and there are none around here. To complicate matters the one I need literally has a half chevy / half mopar bolt pattern unlike most. I regularly use www.car-part.com to find service parts and see if there is anything in my area. This I knew would be a goose chase and could result in several expensive paper weights of the wrong year, type, etc. but one of them popped up here for only $30 so I gave them a call:

The Owner Jim knew exactly what I was looking for and said he had one, would send it out that day for $50 shipped. Great! But then he called back today, said he checked the box right before it went out and sure enought the wrong bolt pattern was in there. Then he contacted all the yards in his area and thinks he came up with one. Greater!!! What salvage yard does that? Real service and friendly too. I think I should move to Ellendale, MN. Anybody know this place?

Around it seems like here you're lucky if you don't get shot, bitten or robbed by the owner/operators of the yards.

Yeah, and they don't even need a gun.

Around here they challenge you to buy from them. That's cool. To bad that ain't the norm.

I don't think so. He actually had to find one at another yard locally after he discovered they had the wrong one. But if anybody would be able to find the right one for you it would be Jim

I got mine today, is it this the same one you're after?:

what I would really like to find is one with a BOP pattern for my 472 caddy but what you have there would work with an adapter.
