Ford Racing M-6392-C Ford Racing Universal Safety Bellhousing

anyone used the ford safety bellhousing? i can get one for a good price new, i want to run this now that im making decent power. i imagine a bellhousing is pretty much a bellhousing, but i want to check before i am into this crap.

please give me your feedback or thoughts.

I am using one on my Mustang. It is made for Ford Racing by Mcleoud and it is a SFI approved peice. I understand with this unit you don't have to check for run-out like you would on a Lakewood steel belhousing either. And it costs less too!

My Tremec bolted up to it and works good with no problems!

Yes the FRPP bell is made by McLeod, nice piece...

However, from lots of expierence I can tell you the only bell I use currently is the Quicktime piece, you can bolt any trans to it (T5 or Tremec), it is lighter and smaller and much easier to get around with large headers, power adders and a joy to remove in the car.

RM-6065 is the part number, they have went up a fair bit in the past year though and are over $550....worth every penny.

I'll add to Ricks comment about header clearance too, on my FR bellhousing the clearance between my long tubes and the bellhousing is pretty tight! I should have mentioned it earlier. To remove the bellhousing, w/ long tubes, one of the headers has to be removed to drop the bellhousing if you ever need to do a clutch replacement.

Great feedback, thanks. I have shorty headers and no turbo. So I think for 100 bucks I gotta snag this.

Sounds like a great buy! I think when I bought mine around 8 years ago they were going for around $250.00. I see now they are well over $400.
