Sounds like a good solution to moving the prop back on a pusher.
Structurally better than bolting on a prop shaft extension.

What do you charge for a longer shaft Tracy?

BTW a stock bell housing may not be designed for prop gyro loads
but they do take a beating in a car application. The rear motor
mount is under the end of the transmission so the bell housing is
designed to take a considerable bending load when the car hits a
severe bump.

Not only that they are high pressure die cast therefor they have
much better strength psi wise than a sand casting. They are also
much lighter in the bargain as the wall thickness can be as low
as 2 mm or .090".

For a tractor installation use of a stock bell housing  generally
would make the engine assembly too long for most stock cowls.

Paul,
I wasn't trying to knock the approach; not really knowing for sure myself, I
need to rely on the experts.
I merely put my 2 cents worth in, to be sure everyone considers all the
information available.
It looks as though Bulent has considered his approach thoroughly and like I
said the Cosmo housing looks pretty robust.
It was good to get some feed back on the bellhousing from yourself as well
as I've heard of some cracking, but who knows, under what conditions.
