It doesn't look like a foxbody V8 bellhousing. The clutch cable cover doesn't look right - angle looks off too.
The only V8 foxbody bellhousing I have seen start with E3 or E6. The trans bolt pattern looks more like a 4 speed or old 5spd
For use on a foxbody you will want one of these two...

The is more of a general FYI. I don't want to issue a blanket statement based on testing between only 2 samples.
Since I had an 83-85 bell and 86-93 bell, I decided to see what the differences were. There was a lot of statements about the early bells being smaller, or then being the same. Decided to see for myself with the two castings I happened to have.

This is a Ford part number. Here’s a breakdown:
E4 – Indicates the part was first released in the 1984 model year (E = 1980s, 4 = 1984).
T – Denotes the vehicle line; "T" often refers to Ford Truck.
A – Designates the engineering group.
7235 – Clutch Release fork.
CA – Revision code.
So, an 84/85 truck

I misread the middle 4 numbers the first time.
It should be:
7235 – Clutch Release fork.
I made an edit above.

That helps.. thank you! looks like my quest continues..It doesn't look like a foxbody V8 bellhousing. The clutch cable cover doesn't look right - angle looks off too.

not to much of a difference, my T5 is a 87 going with a 86 5.0It doesn't look like a foxbody V8 bellhousing. The clutch cable cover doesn't look right - angle looks off too.

Either one will work.
The bell you pictured, to me looks like its for a truck - maybe an old 4 spd or 5 spd from an F150 or 250 around the 84-90 vintage (just my guess).
What's interesting is the E3 bellhousings have the cast recesses for the SROD trans mounting bolts, they are just not drilled and tapped.
So an E3 bellhousing could be used for both SROD and T5 if you drill the other two holes.
Just food for thought.

That's an option if I can't find a E6ZR- 6394-AA bellhousing close to home. I just have to mate my 86 302 to my 87 T5, it's going in a 78 Cobra.
