Yes, it will, but.... |

You're paying Kobe beef prices when you really need sirloin. What's being offered isn't exactly being misrepresented but a bit over-hyped. (I know - when has that ever happened on eBay?) The only difference between that bell and one that is right for your car is the presence of a bolt boss on the side of the bell.
The most common and correct housing for your application is the C6OA 6394 D housing. This housing also takes the factory 11.5" clutch and has the identical "hump" at the top of the housing. The only difference in the C5 housing is the bolt boss on the housing's side that you don't need.
The C6 housing comes in an early(pre 68) and late design. The only difference between the two is the clutch fork pivot. The early housing uses a pivot that has two tabs that insert into the fork and anti-rattle springs. The late housing uses a flat spring clip that inserts through a slot in the pivot.
You can use either style as long as your clutch fork is compatable with the pivot. You can also convert an early to late by just changing the pivot. Beyond the casting number, the date code and a look at the pivot will tell you whether you are looking at an early or late housing. Either will fit a big or small input bearing housing.
Here's a link to David Kee's Toploader site and his bellhousing ID chart: http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/bellhousingidchart.htm
The C6 housing is pretty common and you shouldn't pay more than $150 for a perfect one. Look at the auction histories to get a feel for the prices. |
