    For those who don't know that is a Dana 300 and a T-18 transmission. When I finally get the gears installed in the Dana I will have a final crawl ratio of 94:1. The tranny has a 6:1 granny 1st gear.

    My question is how do I figure out which bell housing I have. I am hoping it is a T-150. :D

    That looks to be a '77-'79 CJ T-18. That bellhousing will bolt to an AMC V-8 or I-6.
    You do realize you're going to have to change the main shaft and adapter to use the Jeep Dana 300 shown don't you.

    Oh, I know. I just need to confirm that the bellhousing will work for my 232. The T-18 has the 1st gear granny gear ration of 6:1.

    Also, the main shaft and texas-pattern adapter should be easy to sell. Those plus a Ford T-18 and a Dana 20 can be put together to make another CJ T-18 setup.

    I didn't take it as negative. More as informatative. Got a bit of work to do to both of them before they go in. Tranny will need some parts and the Dana is going to get 4:1 gears. Time to start saving money.
