Bell housing / Block bolt hole patterm?
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2018 8:37 pm
I've found a few posts asking for this, and one that had an un-finished DXF of the dimensions, but has anyone verified the accuracy of the dimensions?
I'm tempted to use a bell housing off a ZF autobox (as it has an identifiable bore concentric to the centre-line of the crank), clock it in on my mill and the DRO to generate X-Y dims of the bellhousing bolt pattern as a reference. And of course, If I do this, I'll get it uploaded so everyone has the benefit of it.
Reason I'm asking this, is I am looking for a very cheap (read free) way of modifying a mustang T5 bell / trans to mate to the RV8.
I've got a bridgeport, large lathe, tig welder, etc - so why not... I know that I can buy a bell housing, but that's money that I'd rather keep in my pocket
