I have a bellhousing that I pulled out of my 66. I had to replace it with an 80s bellhousing to go with the 80s 302 and T-5 setup that the PO had put in (and half-assed).

Looking at the bellhousing I removed (and don't need any more), the casting number is D1TA-638A-AA. I tried to find out exactly what this one would go to and haven't had any luck. The closest number I found was D1TA-6394-AA and the chart I looked at said that one was for a small block with a 164 tooth flywheel (no year, just a question mark next to it like they weren't sure).

I also have the flywheel that I took out (had to replace that too) and the number on it is D7TE-GA. I found in a different forum that it goes to a 73-77 302 in a bronco or f100/f350. is this right?

Can anyone help me with identifying what this bellhousing and flywheel actually goes to or direct me in the right direction to look? I'm going to sell them and want to make sure I don't put misleading info in the ad.

Thanks

OK. I looked at the bellhousing again, this time with my reading glasses on and in the sunlight and the number is D1TA-6394-AA. According to the chart I found, it is for a 72-73 351. Still wondering about the flywheel though......

Th. The D1 and D7 mean 1971 and 1977. They would be the larger 164 tooth flywheel and bellhousing. They can make headers rub sometimes.

You can use the flywheel and get an aluminum 164 bell C5AA-6394-B
You will shave several pounds off the iron bell. I have one in great shape if you want it.

Or you can get a 157 bell, C5DA-6394-A and 157 tooth flywheel C3OE-6380-B
or C6ZE-6380-A. Be aware that many actually had 160 teeth. This is the "original" setup. I have this combo with a SPEC clutch, Z-bar and T-5.

I've already replaced my flywheel and bellhousing with mid 80s ones to match the engine and tranny setup I have. I was just trying to get more specifics for the old bellhousing and flywheel to sell them.

Thanks for the info.
