That's a nice reference. For transmission types as well as bellhousings.

If you want to go that route, you should be able to find a car bell for a couple hundred bucks. Just remember that the only thing between you and the flywheel is 3/16" of fiberglass and a piece of brittle cast iron though.
I haven't found the $200 car bells. But for a couple hundred bucks extra, I'd be delighted to invest in hardened steel. Question = answered.
