Which bell housing will work for a start-up stand?

it and the starter need to fit the flywheel size. You'll have to measure it. You could have a 1978 engine with a 1978 flywheel and bellhousing on your bus now, or a 1972 flywheel and bell housing. These cars have had too many owners. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |

This bus is unmolested. I need to know if a 72-3-4-5 etc comes up I can use it. _________________ "It's not 'You are what you eat', it's 'You are what you don't SHIT". Wavy Gravy.

If you are sure it's stock 68-75 bus, or any 12 volt beetle or type 3 will fit for your purposes. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

You can use any bus or Vanagon bellhousing if you have the 210 or 215mm clutch. You need the starter that matches the bellhousing you are using though.
The problem comes in when you have the '76 and later 228mm clutch and try to mate it with the earlier bellhousing. It can be done but takes some clearancing of the bellhousing to get the piece to play with each other. If you are building a stand tough, I would suggest that one way or another you plan to make it work with the 228 clutch as that way it would be universal to most VW aircooled engines plus the Vanagon WBXer engines. |
