223 4 speed bellhousing

[Ytfut]

New here, and I hope I'm going in the right direction on this platform. If I'm screwing something up, please don't be shy about letting me know. I'm looking for a bellhousing to work in a 3/4 ton, with a 223. Already have the 4 speed, its bolted up to a very tired/butchered FE. Love to see some pictures of the proper bellhousing. Have one to sell.... I'm in Eastern Nebraski. And if anyone has a part number for it, I'd take that also. I suspect this isn't all that rare, but I'm probably going to be junk yarding. Thanx

It might help if you said what year and which trans exactly.

Truck is a 64, 3/4, 4x4 (divorced). With the age of the truck, I shouldn't assume this tranny came with it, but it appears to be so. I'll have to go out to the shed and crawl under it to get the numbers. I'll give it a good shot to get that done today.

This truck is brutally rough... so rough its really cool. Was used last in SW colorado for Elk Hunting..... 15+ years ago, with the 360.
Got out to the shed today, to roll around and take a peek at tranny numbers. T98-IR next line W.G.-Div. next line N-2.... best I could see. Photos included with this post. I apologize I said Sante Fe, its actually a Rio Grande. Note shot of PTO, its a site to see.

Pretty sure the T98 was used behind 223s. Any year from 53 thru 64 should work. I don't know where any are, but maybe that narrows down your search a little.

Thanx... and now im on the hunt...

I try very hard not to go deep into AI for searches, as I've learned AI will lie, if it doesn't know the correct answer. AI says the bellhousing part # is B8Y-7505-B. Search in the market, I wasn't finding any with that number (doesn't mean its wrong, just means its hard to find at this point).

Went to where I knew there was the correct bellhousing (not for sale), and grabbed the numbers. TCAK-7505-B.

Now some here and there showing up on the market. None yet in my price range (I'm looking close, where as I don't have to pay for the horrible shipping costs).

Will eventually be junk yarding.... I'll confess I'm stalling on that move, as the old timey junk yards in this area, in general aren't full of customer service on bits/parts/pieces.... big items grab their attention.

There maybe a couple different ones that work?..... don't believe so, but I'm no knowledgeable expert.

Be careful.
The Y block version of that bellhousing will look right.
It will fit the trans.
It will fit the crossmember.
It will not bolt up to the 223.
