early toploader 5 bolt bellhousing

[STEVE POTTS]

Can someone measure a T10 or early toploader bearing retainer(for 5 bolt bellhousing) and give me the outside diameter of the retainer(where it mounts to the bellhousing)? I need this dimension to reduce the diam. of my toploader bearing retainer(for 6 bolt bellhousing) which measures 4.85". Thanks

No, those sites do not have this information.

Anyone know the part# or casting# on the 5-bolt steel "COBRA" bellhousing, have pics of one, OR know of one available? You can email or PM, if you'd rather. THANKS!

I polished this one and painted it with gloss black.

Why is it that you want a part number? They, obviously, are no longer made.

Steve,I would suggest that the bell housing for compact Fairlane etc with 3 speed manual from 62 thru 64 that uses the inner bolt pattern that all later top loaders etc have but don't normally use would have the diameter on that front bearing retainer/clutch release sleeve that you require the dimension from, soo if you can find a 3 speed trans from one of those to measure it might help...check it against your bell housing dia to be sure...why can you not simply measure your bell housing and work off that?
