Hello! In the process of building a turbo 350 for my 76 Chevy K20. The bellhousing cracked completely off of the transmission that used to be in it.

I keep hearing about rods that bolt from the lower transmission bell housing to the engine block. When I bought this truck, it had no supporting bars on the transmission or transfer case.

It has an NP205 if that helps. Any ideas of where to find these rods or pictures of said rods? Trying to avoid breaking another transmission. Thanks in advance!
