Certainly different. Look how high the bores for the throwout fork shaft are compared to what we usually see.

I don't think that is a Ford. They used the same or similar transmissions
in Studebaker, Dodge, Mack and who knows what other trucks.

Yup, #3 commercial bell, the smallest of the round ones. Semi's are #2 & #1. 00 for big generators.

Its not a Ford its missing the clearance for the starter cover on the oil pan. Also there's some missing bolt holes as well as the dowl pin alignment holes. And the throw out bearing shaft pivot points are not in the same location as the Ford Flathead Hogs Head.

Cas3 has it. It's for an SAE flywheel housing.

The Borg-Warner T9 transmission was used in lots more applications than just Ford trucks. I have seen reference to them in many other old trucks, in various tractors, and in industrial engine applications. That clutch housing looks to have an SAE bolt pattern ring on one side an industrial or tractor clutch setup, and a T9 bolt pattern on the other side. Not a Ford part at all.

Not being a Ford part looks like your not going to be able to sell it here on the Barn.
