Re: 8v71 versus 6v92 bell housing

Post by Kentucky Steve »

Clifford, both of these bell housings are from a 71 series. Ed took his off his 71 series that had his 6 something tranny on and mine had the manuel tranny on it. The 6v92 at Erics had the 740 tranny on it. All I took off the 92 was the flex plate and tranny.
The two bell housings in question both came off 71series. I feel like I hauled back the same bellhousing that was on my engine. All measurements and bolt pattern check the same. Not sure of a suttle difference in thickness or something not noticeable to the naked eye though.

Thanks

Kentucky Steve
