Small Diameter front bearing cover?

Roy - Do you know the diameter of the three speed bellhousing hole? Same as the outer diameter of the "front bearing cover" on the trans.?

Thanks

You may have to change the bracket that bolts to the tailshaft. I think you will find a difference in the spread of the bolt holes on the tailshaft housing. I don't have any reference material in front of me at the moment to check but it would be a simple fix, just use the later style bracket.

I believe it'll fit. Not sure about the bell housing. But I know the shifter and the yoke will fit.

'62 only had a mounting bracket for the rear tailshaft that hooks up with the existing rear bracket. All the vendors carry it.

Re: Small Diameter front bearing cover?

I don't really know the diameter , BUT any year 3 or 4 speed , that any G.M used will bolt up to your bell housing, all are the same .
That's why stinking Ford guys use Chevy engines and trans.
Oh no ! any one own a FORD!!!
