Can some one tell me the Casting Number on the bell housing for the 157 tooth flywheel on the c4 Maverick tranny. Need the right bell for a Ranger V8 project ! Thanks
Mavit, Is there any reason you need a bellhousing from a Maverick? I built a V8 Ranger using the engine & transmission from a '73 Grabber. There are other 157 tooth C4 bellhousings that were used in other cars that should work as well. I believe there are two basic V8 C4 bellhousing sizes, 157 tooth flywheel (case-fill) & 164 tooth (pan-fill). *There was a small oddball 143 tooth for the Mustang II '64 & '65 pieces are for the early 5-bolt blocks, but any other 157 tooth case-fill C4 bellhousing should fit. There are some that have additional bosses for mounting a shift cable and such, but are the same physical size.
'65 was the first year for the 6-bolt block. The '63 5-bolt blocks had a 160 tooth. Some, but not all, 64's got the 157 tooth.
