		| I put a 428 with a toploader in my 69 F100. I used the stock truck FE bell which is 7/16 deeper than a car bell. The extra thickness allowed two things, first it allowed me to use a SB toploader which its longer input nose and also allowed me to use 11 1/2 clutch as it fit in the deeper and angled differently, bellhousing. Follow all that ? :o) Anyway, I see a lot of the Truck bells for sale, not saying anything about the fact that they are  deeper. Does this not cause any problems in cars? Input depth? Shifter location etc? I am building a 64 TBolt now and will need a bell and .. well the truck bells are everywhere and are cheap. And I did get an 11  1/2 clutch in it!  |
