No, it uses the same bell housing for small block and big block. As far as I know the bell housing did not change until they went to modular type engines in the late 90's when they changed body styles.

I called Advance Adapters and they said thier adapters would not fit a big block.

Any big block, or just certain years? If all, this doesn't make sense, because the early ones are absolutely the same as a pre-LSx SB. Now the LSx smallblocks really are different (depth to crank flange), so I am wondering if a similar change was made on the big blocks?

I told the guy the year. From my research there could be a 68-70 396, or a 71/72 402. Can you shed any extra light? Maybe they just do not know!
