    longer 6 cyl T90 input shaft for starters..
    and an adapter (Offenhauser, Novak, Advance Adapters etc)
    some also use a Chevy bearing retainer, oil seal, and special pilot bushing; my Offy adapter does.
    you would also use the short or two piece V6 factory bellhousing.

    Herm's T90 V6 conversion kit is really nice. I think $175? Sounds 'spensive but it's worth it! He includes all the parts you need --saves you chasing around for the right parts. Buy his trans refurb kit while you are in there -- its apart anyways. I did a conversion in a couple of hours.

    The bell is simply the GM stocker of that era. Somebody here prolly has one on the shelf they would sell ya.

    The adapter is a cast iron ingot made just for the Jeeps :D -- again, on somebody's shelf collecting dust.
