Title: Bellhousing Options?
Post by: kewlbird08 on January 24, 2006, 10:57:50 AM
Got a 351 for the bird...what bellhousing would i use with a C-4?  What about a T-5?  I heard a mustang 5.0 bellhousing would work with the T-5.  Thx

Edit: Can someone move this to Drivetrain?

well, if its a 351 windsor, anything that will work with a 5.0 should work...i think...

all ford small block bells can be used as long as the correct flywheel is used

be aware some late engines use a .50oz imbalance were as older use a .28oz imbalance.

some early 289 used a 5 bolt bell housing wich is not interchangable with the later ones.

Even 351 Cleveland engines used the same bellhousing as a windsor, 351 Modifieds, and 400 used the big block pattern.


I was under the impression that all 351W's used a 28oz balance.
