bell housing for my '63-88,,,394..

Here's one. Internet search will probably get you a dozen other sites

 

I will try to look today but thought it was part of the casting of the block and just the lower section was detachable to where the trans bolts up.

 

x2 that is the way the one on the engine run stand is in the garage.HMM

 

The QT 8070 is for the late 330-455 engines.

 

Probably 3/4 of the rear of the block IS the housing. A fairly thick and heavy lower section with the peep cover plate is the other part. That I have if we are on the same page. If you are looking to update to another trans I believe someone makes an adapter plate to bolt to the rear and to hook up a later trans.

 

^^^^^this.

 

Unless the OP wants to put a manual transmission in his car. Then he'd need something like the one on oldspackrat's thread:

Try Ross Racing they make a adapter along with others.... Tedd

This is the bell housing from a 1960 394. I know not if/how much the housing may have changed in later years?

 

Ah thanks for showing these pics. Might be what the op is looking on a 63! I wonder what year they changed?

 

Definately different for 63/4. Not sure about 61/2 but expect them to be the same.

 

I'm guessing you don't really need one now?
