I'm in need of the pan that goes under the bell housing of my 1953 Ford Victoria V8. I think the 52-53 Mercury is the same. The part number is 6409, I think.

You should post this in The Swap Meet section, too.

The '51 (regular production) to '53 Mercury and '52-'53 Ford use the same lower inspection cover.

They are hard to find. Many times you can find the bell housing for sale but the cover plate is missing. I'm sure there are some are still out there but maybe not so easy to find.

is that the one that holds the starter

This type is a cast iron bell housing set up for the later 52 & 53 Ford type transmissions with the narrow Borg Warner bolt pattern as well as the late 51 through 53 Mercury which used the same transmission as the Ford cars. They do have a separate starter plate on the front as well as the inspection cover on the bottom. The late 51 Mercury type was the only one that still had the rotating equalizer shaft. The rest all use the lever type throw out actuator arm.

This link from Mac VanPelt's site has an illustration for the type.http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...s-adapters.htm

If someone could help by posting a photo, I likely could help the guy out with one.

Your part is a '49-'51 Ford starter plate/cover combo. The OP needs the #6409 illustrated in the Vanpelt link.

flatjack9 · 01-27-2018, 02:10 PM

I have that part. PM me.
