RE: fe bellhousing

You don't tell us what model your '69 Merc is....Cyclone? Montego? Cougar? X100? Parklane? You got yourself a Mercury and your gonna cruise on down the road....but it would be helpful to know a little more.

The stick bellhousing that FE equipped unibody FoMoCo vehicles ('66-'70) came with is a C6OZ.....although I've seen many that have no casting #s on them. They do not have the external ribbing as the pickup stick bells have. It's true that the pickup/truck bell is 7/16" deeper than the unibody FE bell.

The truck bellhousing is a common item on eBay. Often times misrepresented as a passenger car stick bellhousing. As with all of eBay...Buyer Beware.

As to whether you will have any problems running the external rib/truck bell between your 428/RUG-AE2? I'm not going to profess personal knowledge. However if your toploader's input shaft is seated & supported properly in the pilot bushing of your flywheel there shouldn't be any failures.

I hope someone with personal experience and knowledge of running this transmission with the pickup/truck bell will give us some reinforcement.
This thread, so far...
