289 ford flywheel measurement
I'm working on a '65 Mustang 289 cu. in. with my friend. He purchased an after market flywheel and a used 6 bolt bell housing. The car is going to run a borg/warner T10. We mounted the engine on a run stand, installed the starter and tried to start it. The starter spins, the Bendix comes out but misses engaging the flywheel by about 3/4 of an inch to the side of it.
The flywheel is 13 1/4 inch in diameter, is this wrong? Can some one tell me if that measurement is good or not. Or is there another bellhousing that we need for this. Thank You |

Re: 289 ford flywheel measurement
There are two different starters for the small block, one for automatic and one for manual. The manual is 3/8 deep and should have a hole in the block plate about 4 1/8. The auto is 3/4 deep and a hole about 4 1/16. I have just changed the nose of the starters to make it work when I have both.

Re: 289 ford flywheel measurement
Rereading your post, it sounds to me you have a 164 tooth bellhousing and a 157 tooth flywheel. All the early 289's I played with had the 157 tooth flywheels/ flexplates. Any casting numbers on the bellhousing?

Re: 289 ford flywheel measurement
Hey Flatrod, I could not find any casting numbers on the bell housing. I'll have to get the engine out of the run stand next weekend and do a tooth count. The bell housing is aluminum, Kultulz says it should be correct for the 157 tooth flywheel. Thank both of You for your help. After I do the tooth count next weekend I'll let you know what I found

The old 5-bolt block types were likely a C3 part number and would have had the old narrow Borg Warner pattern like T-85 & early T-10 transmissions had. |

Thank You for the help Guys. We located another bell housing and we're swapping it in this coming weekend.
