    What's the bolt pattern for our torque converters and the flexplate tooth count? Thanks in advance! Just trying to gather all info to send it in for my custom converter

    crap.. it's been so long since my mind thought about this Ford stuff. IIRC.. the case or pan fill had less to do with it then the bellhousing and flywheel flange size. So, maybe the big bells used the 11 7/16.. and the little ones used 10.5?

    I'll go measure mine real quick.

    EDIT: ok.. mine is early bellhousing case fill and is 10.5 pattern with 157 tooth flywheel but after some quick googling here?.. I'm more confused than ever now. damned internet makes a person stupider sometimes. lol

    from what I can tell so far.. the early smaller bells(pre-81 maybe?).. used the 10.5 patterned for 157 tooth.. and the 81 and later bells used the 164 tooth with larger bolt pattern? Not sure and I give up... it's getting too late for my old brain. lol

    Sorry I couldn't be sharper right now and I know how it is to want to get things sorted out. Probably best to wait and talk to them first thing Monday morn to be sure.
