Broken bellhousing question - 71 K10
Good day gents
Quick question. I just pulled the engine from my truck and noticed the bottom bolthole for the starter mount to the bell housing is broken off. Leaving 2 of 3 boltholes usable to hold the starter. Not sure how long it's been that way or if it's really even a problem. I've been told "it's not a big deal" but wanted advice from you all. Should I start the search for an emplacement bellowing, SM465 manual, or do you think I could get by as it?

If it were mine, I'd replace it while you have it apart that far, as repairing cast iron is dicey, and I would not fool with a bellhousing.

They are pretty common. I would search the classified forums here, and if one is not located, place a WTB (want to buy)ad.
