I want to keep it a close to stock as possible and definitely so that all stock parts will bolt right on. I am designing the molding to do exactly what you propose - allow the casting of different front and rear configurations. The half bell being further down the list.
I have been making foundry tooling for 40 years and I will be able to make just about everything with as little pattern work as possible.
