Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission
The adapter I'm refering to is for the 40-53 ford Bell housing and is nothing more than an 11/16 plate with some holes in it. Vern tardel made them years ago. Can't believe nobody else makes them. I thought Wilcap made them??

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission
I think the bolt pattern is not the same as car.
I looked a Wilcap and they show a trans truck with ears 4 bolt,like to use that one for my 53 f100 3 speed.I have to measure and see if the s10 or ford would be better for location of shifter. |

Another "easiest" way to go. All you have to do is re-drill it. Uses all stock parts (some Chev)otherwise. I use the Chev scatter shields because they are much more plentiful than other brands. |

Re: bell housing for flathead to T-5 transmission
I have a 53 F-100 and an 88 S-10 T-5 trans that I picked up at a yard, fresh from the truck. I talked to a man at Wilcap this afternoon. He told me I may be able to use their adapter for the Y block, as the bell for the 53 is different than the 52, but same as the 54 Y block. I will measure the height of my cast bell (with the motor mount ears) and the S-10 bell. They are very close in height. The Wilcap adapter is 1/2" thick. They also sell a longer pilot bearing, if needed, and a custom bearing retainer with bearing for input. The stock Ford throwout rides without need of a sleeve, as adapted. So I am hopefull, may wait til weather warms. I may try a local clutch shop to adapt the 1" 14 spline hub to Ford 10".
