Default Bellhousing ball stud question

Does the ball stud (clutch fork connects to) in the bellhousing come in different sizes? Application is for 1972 350 base motor 11" clutch fine spline.

One size fits all.

Sorry to correct you Duke but they do come in the standard size and you can also buy an adjustable one, for added length.

Actually, I was just going to ask about this. I have two bellhousings and one has a short stud and one has a long stud.

All Bell housings are roughly the same length. Things like block saver plates and the thinner lighter flywheels require the longer GM Ball stud.

IMO - adjustables are not what you want when GM makes a long or a short for under $14 bucks at the dearlerships.

I was just getting ready to drop the 454 in my '70 when I realized I used my 621 bellhousing on my other car. I have the smaller 10.5 clutch bellhousing that won't clear my flywheel and what looks like an old truck flywheel with a notch carved out for a big starter. I'm just afraid of cracking the modified one.
