Thanks for the offer Tim. I guess I don't need any pictures after all.

I'm going to try grinding the bell housing some more. I took a fair amount out to fit the small block starter in. I'll probably need to take about the same or a little more out again. I was able to do it with a 4" grinder before though and it only took a few minutes to remove material that way.

If I do have to pull the bell housing I may just drop the manual transmission out and put my 700 auto in anyway.
