bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission 2 Attachment(s)
This is the truck "hogshead", stamped steel bellhousing, and starter plate.
3 pieces total. All in very good shape. If you wanting to bolt a Chevy T-5 transmission behind a 8BA flathead this is most of the stuff you need. If you read further down, a couple folks wrote about the Dwight Bond adapter plate that you need as well. Pretty darn sure this is the correct starter plate. The pic makes it look angled but it isn't. SOLD IT. |
Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission corn boy,
Hello! Are you aware of the 'swap' section of this forum? Might get better results there as it is the correct place for sale/trade/wanted items,eh! Good luck. |

Also, your starter plate is wrong, as it's angled, and ONLY goes with the '49-'51 Ford car stampted steel bell. :(:) |
Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission I have a 53 f100 3 speed flathead has like say 55 trans.
Can this bellhousing be used to go with t5 trans,and what may have to be done to use it. |
Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission I'm sure the Ford Car type bellhousings from 49 to 53 can be used with a different adapter but most folks use the Hogs Head unit so they can still use the rotating equalizer type clutch release shaft with the old style fork. With this in mind, it just depends on what type of clutch actuation system works for your application.

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission The input shafts are different lengths . I believe the truck one being the longer of the two.The input shaft in the mustang T-5 is the right length but needs the s10 tail shaft housing swap done. the bottom two bolt holes line up also. The top two require some modes done to the truck bell.

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission made an adapter for a Mustang T-5 to bolt to a 49-53 ford and it should be 11/16 thick and the pilot shaft front bearing retainers are a different dia.

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission Everyone that has used the truck back bell uses an adapter that is made to work with it. It is a commonly used part and is still a relatively inexpensive way to go if a person wants to put a T5 behind a flathead ford V8

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission Any idea what the adapter cost for a 49-53 Ford passenger car to Ford T-5?? This is probably the easiest swap.

• Use the stock flywheel • Use the stock pressure plate • Use the stock pilot bearing or bushing • Use the stock throwout bearing • Use the stock clutch linkage • Adapt the stock rear mount (at least I did) • Get a speedometer cable for $12 at AutoZone All you have to buy are a clutch disk and a speedometer drive gear! |
Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission Whoops, I ment to post it in the Swap section. Thanks for the heads up hardtimes.

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission Just follow Richards instructions. IF someone makes the adapter, it's quite simple and we havent heard from wilcap yet. If they are seasonably priced I might buy one myself.
