ok im wondering if a 4 speed and bell housing off a 292 v8 will fit on the back of my 223 6... are the bell housing for the 6 the same as the 8, or do i need a 4 speed bell housing off a 6. thanks

Chances are you may not need a new bellhousing. If you have the old tranny out, compare the imput shafts on each, measure the bolt pattern on each tranny. I've swapped them on flatheads with 6's and done several on 289-302 engines. The major problem you might incurr is the driveshaft length and the tranny mount itself.if you have access to a set of 57-63 parts catalogs, you can check there.

 

I've got a T-98 4 spd/granny behind my 292 that (hopefully) will be swapped for a 4spd overhead rail o/d tranny soon, that you can take off my hands for me... E-mail's below, let me know if you're interested.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, stirs the soul, saying I'm a bad **** like lettin'em rip with a window shaking, fuel gulpin, carbon monoxide belchin, attention gettin, V-oh my LORD!-8!

 

The three speed bell housing, is defently different than the four speed bell housing. So do I need to find a four speed bell housing off of a straight six? Or can I use the four speed bell housing off of the 292?

 

Hi, I looked it up for you. The bellhousing from an 8 cyl. is definately different than that of a 223. Looks like you will definately need a bellhousing from a 223.
Part numbers are:
8 cyl....3 speed standard = B8C 7505-A
223......3 speed standard = B8C 7505-B
8 cyl....3 speed HD, or 4 speed bellhousing = B8Y 7505-A
223......3 speed HD, or 4 speed bellhousing = B8Y 7505-B
