4 speed bell housings

4 speed bell housings - 12/22/08 03:53 AM

I was digging through my old bell housings and found a couple of ones that I always thought were 11 b bodies. I looked at a web page with all the casting numbers and found them to be 65-66 10.5 bell housings for b bodies(2468372). Are those very desirable? I guess even though they looked like 11 they wont take an 11" flywheel. Anyone know if they will fit a 68-70 b body?

One good thing is they were also used for 67-69 383 Dart GTS's and Barracuda's also! There are two holes where a spacer bolts onto then the pivot ball stud bracket attaches. The 67-70 B-Body bell is different and only has one hole that the pivot ball stud screws into.

I'll look at them and see. I noticed some bell housings for sale in the tranny section and they range from 200 to 300. I guess these fit in that price range as well.

Not to highjack the thread. But I have a aluminum bell housing in my roadrunner. I have heard some of these are valuable. I have to check the number if I have a picture of it. It is already in my car. I believe the only number is where the tranny mounts is that correct? I found out after the fact like always. Is there any problem with these. It is a Mopar bell housing, I have it in a 4 speed Roadrunner.

Thanks

I assume you have it in your 69? It is supposed to be the 11" cast iron 2892626. The reason I even dug out all of my bell housings is that I am working on an original 68 Charger 4 speed car and the previous owner swapped out the 11" for a 71 alum one like your and used a 11" scalloped pp. They will work just fine, but it is not original. As far as valuable, I guess it depends upon which one you need. I would think the 69-69 11" would be more rare, but who knows. I have several of each. I have more of the 68-69 11" so I may swap him one for his 71 alum since I only have one for my kids 71 383 4 speed. Then again, I may use a scatter shield.
