Please help with FE parts info!
I am just starting a 390 FE build up and I am trying to locate all the parts I need, so I will be begging for a lot of help with information from you well educated FE people out there  Anyway, my first question is concerning manual bell housing’s. I want to install a 4 or 5 speed manual transmission in my Cobra Project car and I have been looking around the salvage yards for a manual bell housing. I have found one that is supposed to be a Ford 390 FE F250 100 150 manual bell housing; it has the numbers of C5TA 7505 B cast into it. From a little research, the numbers would indicate that it is from a 1965 ford truck, am I correct? Also, can you tell me if this will work for me as a bell housing for my 390 Cobra build up? Or where there different bell housings for cars and trucks, meaning that a car manual transmission bell housing is different than a trucks? Will it fit in a Cobra kit car? Also, does it matter what bell housing I get if I want to install a 4 speed Top Loader or T-5 transmission? Will these transmissions bolt up to this bell housing? Sorry about all the questions, but I have allot to learn. Thanks for the quick response!
