This is also on the "U-shift em" area.
From what I can tell reading the Yahoo page there is an adapter plate for Nailhead to Chevy auto and also a newly fabricated bellhousing for manual trannys. I am still looking for more info.
This is what I have found thus far. I will post it in two post due to message length.

still awaiting the arrival of the flywheels, then I will have pics of the
complete automatic adapter kit. I'll also post this on the site.
thanks

Okay, the Doc Frohmader automatic tranny adapters are still
awaiting the
completion of the new flywheels, but the adapters for the
bellhousing are
now available. They are CNC plasma cut steel plates and will adapt a
(Chevy-pattern) bellhousing to the 57-66 364/401/425. This is the
adapter
only and the hardware to attach it to the block. You'll still need a
flywheel/clutch, etc. and be creative with your pilot shaft. The
adapter is
1/2" thick so you will have to compensate for that.
These are adapters designed to use the 700-R4 or other late GM
automatic,
but I talked Doc into letting me make these adapters available as
well.
Since getting the manual bellhousing on the Nailhead is half the
battle, I
thought a few fellas might want one to play
with."
