Does any one have any experience with this bell housing. I would love to upgrade to a ZF 5 or 6 ??

You are on the wrong planet.

You are on Planet Pantera with that bell. Planet Pantera looks like this:

An Italian exotic with a 351 Cleveland for $10,000 at your Lincoln-Mercury Dealer. WTF the old codgers looking at Mk III land yachts must have said...
That bell allows an FE to bolt up the ZF transaxle.

You want to be on Planet Pickup Truck, where the ZF looks like this:

That trans has an integral bell. You need an adapter to make it work with an FE:

I am pretty sure it is less money to go with an NV4500 behind an FE vs. the ZF and adapter. The NV requires an adapter as well, but it's less money iirc.

thanks for the info.. the nv4500 seems like that would make a lot of sense
