Bellhousing question
lampy22 - 4/9/10 at 05:19 PM

Good evening

I have what I think is a T5 to Pinto bellhousing in my garage. What I would like to know is there such a thing or am I finally losing the plot and seeing as it's excess to my requirements what would you think that it's worth to sell.

The numbers on it are V86BB 7505AC
Many thanks
Michael

all the old ford 4cly engines have very similar bolt paterns, but a late pinto block is exactly the same as a cossie

so i'd guess its off a sierra cossie of some kind, but it should also be a strait fit on a pinto

I've tried it onto a pinto and it fits but the bolt pattern is different to a Type 9. They are a lot further apart and bolt gerbox to engine rather than the other way round.

Ally or cast steel?
there are some "Quick fit type 9" bell housings, there are also a few MT75's that have removable bell housings
A photo would get a positive response

It's ally.

I'll get some pictures taken tomorrow and posted.

2wd cossie's have T5 boxes as standard with alloy bellhousings

pics should clear it up though...

Ok chaps here are a couple of pictures of the bellhousing. Hope that they are of use.

If I were closer to you I'd probably be begging at your doostep as it's exactly what I'm after for my ST170 to T5 build. Rear Wheel Drive Motorsport have new one's for sale for around £175.

Any desire to scare up a clutch arm and ship the lot to Canada

Cheers, Ted

If you were closer Ted you could have it for a song.

So if I was selling this on Ebay what should I list it as and what sort of coin should I expect for it? Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
Michael

I'll take it for the song plus shipping. I recommend Roxanne by the Police, but I'll need to budget for the eight pints or so I'll need in me and the industrial ear defenders you'll need to preserve your hearing and sanity
