Hey,

I just about finished installing this bellhousing. Heres what I learned through extreme trail and error! haha

1)The 1 Silver ring is for a T-5 Ford Tranny, and the other ring is for a Tremec Tranny. Just install either one and test fit on the T-5 to figure out which one works.

2) For the Starter extra disc/silver thing that's welded in I didnt have remove. The starter fit fine. Just needed to file the bolt holes to get the starter to mount properly. This was done on a 306 though, im not sure if it will be different for a 410W.

3)I didnt have to remove any of the L brackets or anything like that, just bolted it right up. But also for a 306.

4) You will need a clutch fork that is approx 1" longer than your stock one.
The 94-95 Forks WILL NOT work, their to long. The stock 5.0 Clutch is to short, you have to either shorten the 94-95 one, or lengthen the stock one. Or you can buy an aftermarket one premade.

5)Your longtubes will probably not fit, Most people have to shave off a little on the sides. They might fit though.

6)I havent reinstalled my clutch cable yet and im not sure that it will stretch far enough through the hole that McCleod has provided. I'll wait and see tonight when I install it.

Thats about it, its kinda trail and error.

Yeah the rings look almost the same, but one will fit the t-5 tranny alot tighter. Im guessing you have the tranny out, just see which one fits, thats what I did. I didnt do anything with the L brackets??? As i didnt know what they were talking about either, just have left them I guess.

Oh and the the starter, I left it too.

i have this bell and had different experiences then you guys described...

i thought those rings were for the starter, i guess i read wrong, when i pull it again to do my clutch i will use one.

i have bbk 1 3/4 longtubes and they work fine with the bell...you have to take them off to install and remove it, but it all works together fine.

i'm still using my stock clutch fork with no problem, don't know what you guys meant by getting a bigger one

i'm still using my stock clutch cable as well, i didn't even need to mess with my adjustment at the firewal, it fit fine.

my starters have all fit fine too...i went through 2 or 3 napa stock ones before i got a high torque mini starter that could deal with the longtubes...all have fit fine w/out modificatoin to the block plate.

don't know about the L brackets you're talking about...doesn't rnig any bells.

but just thought i'd share with you all what i experienced...i havent had any problems and its been my daily driver for a few months...well forever, then got a motor, then got a tremec and mcleod bell, so it wasn't a dd for a bit, but the past 3 months or so i've been drivin in and its been fine as i have it done.
