Title: bell housing bolt patterns
Post by: prrii on April 07, 2005, 01:41:34 PM
hey all, trying to find out if the 1.6/2.0/2.3 liter manual transmissions bellhousings all have the same bolt pattern?  I've gotten several conflicting answers to this.  I was under the impression that the 2.3 is the "lima" that was found in later 4cyl mustangs and rangers, that shared the bolt pattern with the ford windsor small blocks.  Any info, input, photos would be appreciated!
happy motoring

The 1.6 bell only fits the 1.6,The 2.0 can be used on the 2.3 but requires an offset dowl and none of these is the same pattern as a small block. ;D
