Title: Wanted: FE Manual Bellhousing
Post by: allen2438 on February 11, 2020, 08:07:33 AM: I need a FE CAR bellhousing, NOT truck, for a toploader trans. Previous owner used a truck bell and lunched the input bearing and pilot bushing. "knapp489@gmail.com"
In the central Tx area. Allen

Neither of the bellhousings you mentioned fit the larger clutches. The Galaxie offering also seems to have a different trans pattern.

There were multiple versions of the C5AA bellhousing, it also came in a version to fit the larger clutch. Most work with the later wide toploader transmission pattern. There was a C8OE FE bellhousing too.

Post by: fomocoloco on February 15, 2020, 10:00:31 AM: the c5ta truck bellhousing comes with no hump but is can be used with an 11 1/2 inch flywheel , clutch and pressure plates. i still have a c5aa with the hump for the 11 1/2 inch flywheel. i have owned a few but have never seen one without the hump.

I have one of the big ones for a car/ 4 speed with the big Z on the back. Where are you located? Asking $400 plus the ride.

Post by: urchinhead on February 17, 2020, 01:04:51 PM: Larry, I am interested if Allen has already found what he needs. Which clutch fork pivot does your Z bell have - sping or clip?

Post by: 67428GT500 on March 13, 2020, 05:13:44 PM: In case you weren't aware the smaller housings will not accommodate the CF clutches. They don't clear the counterweights.
