Bell Housing fab
I had to buy some 1/2" plate and the deuce Bell from the spare parts pile , just my time involved to make it work . A little tight to fit the cross shaft into the old deuce bell ,but it saved me from scratch building one .The trans is sitting in the M37 in it's original position ,so no mods to linkage or the driveshaft . The Ford flywheel was drilled /tapped for the Dodge clutch and the trans input shaft was shortened 1/2" for the crank pilot bushing . The cab firewall, just below the drip rail had to be recessed an 1" for the Valve cover and the trans floor pan had to be modded (bumped out) at the firewall for the larger engine bell . The aluminum oil pan had to be trimmed a couple inches to clear the front pumpkin ,other than that pretty straight forward .
