I have a big block bellhousing from the back of a 361 industrial, originally in a 70 D500. It has 12 bolt holes spaced equidistant in a 16 3/8" circle. As I recall, this is the same circle used by the shallow bellhousing adaptor on the 3053 from the Reo "deuce and a half" with the 331 golden comet gas motor. I don't know about the other 6x6 engine applications. I originally purchased this with the idea of hooking a 440 to a 3053 and putting it all in a B160 IH crewcab 4x4 but the plans never materialized, the 3053 and Reo bellhousing got bagged by somebody and I sold the B150 and the 440. I have the belhousing adaptor left. I mistakenly worte in an earlier post that it was a small block adaptor. It isn't.
The Reo adaptor to the 3053 (which you can get virtually anywhere) also had the clutch T.O. bearing fork and lever. The only thing I see as a problem with this is the Reo 3053 had a real short input shaft. This bellhousing is 5 inches deep, engine face to bolt circle. It also has the side mounts attached still. Instead of a crossmember, this belhousing sits on inverted "L" shaped side mounts which sat on rubber pads on top of the frame rails. If you don't have the bigblock, (which you failed to mention) then disregard all this unless somone can make you an adaptor plate, small block to big block. I am in Victorville, ca. You didn't say where you are
