We use cruise-o-matic bell housings to put C-4s behind Y blocks all the time.. Basically it involves opening up the center to accept the C-4 pump then drilling holes so that the pump bolts mate the bell housing and tranny together

The dept on the C-O-M bell is right? figured that would be possible with a litle
lathe and mill job

For a Y block the distance is not right.  That is overcome with a spacer and a crank bushing. You would need to measure for the FE, it is probably different

Yes i have asked a friend and he think he has a couple of C4 bells somewhere

You have spaced Betwen the bell and the block?

You could space the bell housing but then you would have to space the flexplate.. On a Y block we make an aluminum bushing to go in the pilot bearing hole and accept the converter . Then for a Y block we make a 4 steel spacers that bolts between the flex plate and the converter. It seems a little sketchy but mine has held up to 500 hp on my drag car   One guy accomplished the same thing with an aluminum ring between the flex plate and converter.  When you compare bell housing depths it will guide you on what you need.
