Maybe for a BB 4-speed deal in an A-body ? I don't know. Maybe something totally different ? I thought the -513 bells were B and E body bells.

I ended up using a 1965 cast iron stock Mopar bell for the 383 and 361 B motors to use the 10.5 inch flywheel, clutch and replica clutch linkage in it to drive it on the street, it works and fits well: up: Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

My question is: Does this modification look like it might facilitate something obvious, for example, use in an A-body instead of an E-body ? Use of a particular bracket ? Someone added it for a reason, what might that reason be ? Of course it could be just a one-off non-predictable modification.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
