I thought i had 2 of the correct bellhousing but I don't think I do. I have the jeep T-18 . I had a separate bell housing I got on a parts jeep and that one is identical to the one I need to replace but someone, sometime, had JB welded part of the housing back together (where the clutch linkage bolts on) and I'm not to sure if that's safe to run. The other one I thought was a 176 bell housing but some of the holes are blocked off and the fork hole is HUGE compared to what I had. Please help [emoji53]

On that T-176 bell housing, there should be on set of holes blocked off and the other set threaded. You can drill and tap thru at those blocked off locations. When I did mine, I also installed Heli-coils for added strength. At least that is the way I remember it. Look it up on the net. If you don't have any experience doing that, a local Jeep or 4x4 shop should be able to help you. Not sure about that huge clutch fork hole though.
 
Buy the square clutch fork boot that’s what was on mine

I think I'd need a bigger clutch fork as well correct?

You might need a new fork check your old one and see if it will work
