87 460 Help Please
Well I have an 87 F-250 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 7.5 l single cab and my automatic tranny went out, so I got a 4 speed manual tranny out of an 86 F-250 3/4 ton 4x4 but it had a 351 in it. I have all the components to make it fit my application, besides the bell housing. So I'm searching for a FBB alumnium bell housing that will bolt up to the tranny I got. Thanks.

Hydraulic bellhousings can be found but are rare because they tend to break the slave boss off.
(I know, I've done it when I had a T-19)
Hydraulic bellhousings were only made for this engine from '83 to '87.
Before that there were only automatic 460 trucks.
After that, every manual 460 came with a integral bell ZF-5.
27 year old truck parts are not falling from the sky everywhere.

OH!!!
You have a 4×4 460 box!
Those come with the 6.32:1 syncro first gear.
Too bad you didn't get the bell.

Yeah I know man haha the bell housing on my automatic transmission cracked above the starter when I changed my rear main seal out so instead of spend 1500 bucks on a pos remanufactured auto tranny, I spent like 400 for a manual and all the conversion parts besides a bell housing because I can't find one anywhere for it.
