Yes I remember the EJ alloy bolt on bell housing well Norm.
I had a good EJ box here ,they were so small, must have been the smallest Holden gearbox ever ,ended up
throwing the gearbox out, couldn't find anyone that wanted it ,I did manage to get rid of a few earlier cast iron bell housing
gearboxes though,the only non synchro first gear Holden gearbox I used in a vehicle was an EH 3 speed from a 179 which
had bigger gears than the EJ box and I converted it to floor shift ,from memory I think the EH 3 speed was still the same gearbox used in HK.
