Ford 460 engine needing a good old 12" clutch bell housing.


On my shop mechanics floor is a very good low mileage (42,000 mi) original 460 engine with a proper 180 teeth new flywheel bought as a Zoom brand by Perfection I think it was from Summit Racing.

Not intended for racing, but it does have a Borg-Warner manual transmission, matching pocket crankshaft bore pilot bearing, installed now in the crankshaft.

We only need now a 460 bell housing that will take a manual fork actuated 12" clutch assembly to complete the drive train (possibly from an F-350 Ford manual transmission model). [< Possibly from SW USA or a Texas salvage yard or a private owner from anywhere]. As long as it will accept the 12" flywheel (< which measures 15.5" across the flywheel teeth end points) & clutch assembly which goes 4.5" deep from the bell housing engine face, it then should fit & bolt up the bell housing to the engine facing.

Please contact me if you know of one available, or if you know of an 11" clutch assembly (< by name) that will fit up to the 12" flywheel.

The old 351-M flywheel is also 180 teeth and is also 15.5" teeth diameter, but the 351-M flywheel mounting holes to the 460 engine crankshaft are too small in radius to match the crankshaft holes, which are larger in diameter and are more large in diameter from the crankshaft centerpoint.

Any tips or info on available parts/info-to-do-it would be much appreciated.
