i like the idea of bolting a broken bell housing up ... BRILLIANT! i have an extra fly wheel ( if i didn't toss it) its got a darn torque converted bolted to it right now...
I have spare STI flywheels as well.

I think any gun might work as long as you have a huge amount of air volume. Plugs are out, so it should turn easily. Less impact might be better, so try a cheap gun first. Make sure the accessory pulley or washers are on so you don't bottom out the bolt.
