Bell housing

I Have a 292 motor and was wondering if by chance it had the same bell housing as an fe block? I read somewhere that it was replaced by the 292 and was wondering if there were any similarities between the two. We have a 360 that is no longer, and were wondering if the 292 we have will fit in it's place with minimal modification.
Thanks
Dustin

Nope, two entirely different engines sharing no internal/external parts.

A 292 Y Block bell housing will not interchange with a FE 352/390/428 bell housing or the FT 330/361/391 bell housing...at least not part number wise.

None of the parts numbers are the same between the Y block, FE or FT engines.

The FT engine is an upscale FE engine.

The last Y block 292 used in pickups was 1964. In 1965, the FE engines became available as an option on F100/350's. About the only parts that exchange between the Y block and the FE's are the points, condenser and rotor. The two engines are as different as night and day.

No Sir, I just looked through all the bell housing part numbers from 1957 thru 1972. Not one part number matches between a Y block, a FT or an FE.

For Example

B8Y-7505-A Bell Housing Y Block 1957/64 (292) B/C/F/P/N 100/750

C4TZ-7505-D Bell Housing FT 1964/72 (330/361/391) B/C/F/N 100/800

D0TZ-7505-A Bell Housing FE 1965/72 (352/360/390) F100/350

I haven't a car parts book handy, but I do know this:

C5DA = 1965 Falcon

C= Decade = 1960's

5 = Year = 1965

D = Falcon (if it fits a Falcon, it should fit a 65/66 Mustang or a '65 Comet)

A = Engineering/Casting Number

Can't tell from your number if it's for a 6 or V8. The 6's were either a 170 or a 200. The V8's were either a 260 or 289.

Can't help on the intake manifold, no refs. But with the D5TE (1975) prefix, if it's a 4V manifold, it's a 390. If it's a 2V, it could be either a 330 M/D or a 360.

The FE 360/390 intakes will not interchange with the FT 330's.
