Here, I thought I was the only person exploring the notion of a SHO transplant into a 65/66 Mustang. I just found this thread only a week ago, darn, someone beat me to it. Anyway, wicked93gs, I appreciate your in-depth coverage and explanation of the many hurdles to face. I've read tons of conflicting info regarding bell housings. Exactly what Aerostar engine was mated to the bell? What years might be the same? I know the SHO will mate to a Ranger/Explorer manual (Mazda built), but unknown if it's the v6 or I4 pattern. I also know it bolts to an Aerostar auto, but again, unknown year and engine. I've read where other bells may work, but nothing confirmed. There must be some kind of standard bell pattern across a bunch of engines in the ford line. Who here has had first had experience?

There was also a build thread on one of the Mustang forums at one point that went into great detail (it was being put into a fox-body, they finished it to the point of it being a running/driving car) I can't remember which one, Google might help you find it.
