Ford Bellhousings????????

I've been a Ford enthusiast for years, but really have only studied the smallblock engines. I am wondering if someone could tell me what bellhousings/Trannies fit FE, 335, & 385 engines? Automatics mostly. Which interchange if any?? This has always been unclear to me. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Fordbreathin.

The FE is completely different than a 385 series motor. The autos will not interchange because the bell housing is part of the trans. The standards just require a different bell housing to swap.

This is true if you have a C6. FMX and C4 transmissions have removable bellhousings. I know that FMX's have come on FE engines and I have seen a C4 on a 460 before. Wether or not it was stock, it was attatched.

A C4 behind a 460? I've seen a power glide but never a C4. I have never seen a C4 with the big of a bell. But who knows? The FMX does have a removable bell, I forgot about that one.
