    Well, where to start. Oh yeah, I FOUND THE BELLHOUSING!!!!!!!

    Although I am excited, it is being held hostage in return for $150. Apparently word has gone around that I'm on this quest for it. It came off a 1965 Falcon I6, same as my block! Sounds like a ripoff I know but I'm still stoked...thats the last piece of the puzzle...definately will be keeping you all posted but for right now I will be busy with other things until Sunday, which I'll try to post pics Monday. I'm so excited!

    Rip off is a relative term. If it gets ya going, it was probably worth the money.

    Jeff I would assume a 200ci transmission has the same bell housing????
    If so I have one you can have it for free. The only catch is it may take 2 weeks for me to go get it from my dads(we don't see eye to eye much these days) this is of course an automatic i Have a c3 I think.

    Well, the blocks did change from 1965-1970. I have a c4 and the bellhousing from my 1970 200 I6 is too small. Now that I think about it, I'm going to get it, its worth the money and yes, I can't wait to hear it run.

    but the starter locations are different. I have a 200, not a 250. I think thats what this article is about. But I tell you what, I'm going out of town today but when I get back, I'll find one and take measurements...Its just I don't think the starter will fit.
