    Up for auction is this original Cobra scatter shield for the 6 bolt 289 or 302 Ford engines. Shelby American had Wedge manufacturing make these blow proof bell housings specifically for them in the early 1960’s. Wedge was one of the major safety bell housing manufacturers during this period. Made for Shelby American with the Cobra lettering on them in a high grade cast steel, offering protection from a clutch explosion during competition use. This 6bolt version was for the 289 Hi-Po motors, but will fit most of the small block early Ford Motors 260,289,302 and 351W. This bell housing has all of the correct markings as you can see from the pictures. Wedge, NHRA and the part number C5DA-6392-A.

    These are rare to find in their original condition, this one still has the original paint on it. (In super shape) A Correct part to finish off your project.


    On Feb-01-21 at 13:59:34 PST, seller added the following information:I was just told by a eBay member, that this is a old vintage repro version. Please see below. I see that some bellhousing with out the dash between the numbers have sold for originals, but wanted to share this info with everyone.


    Thought you might like to know your bellhousing is not an original. It's definitely a reproduction. Original ones have dashes between the part numbers, reproduction ones do not. There are obvious ways to tell by viewing the outside as well. Both pics have the repro on the left.

  • COBRA / WEDGE STEEL BELLHOUSING, SCATTERSHIELD C5DA-6392-A IDENTIFICATION

    Over the years I have seen many discussions about how to tell if a 6-bolt Cobra Wedge bellhousing is original or reproduction. Well, here's the way you can tell immediately.

    Look at the part number inside the bellhousing. If there are no dashes between the letters/numbers, it's a reproduction. Authentic pieces will have dashes. Looking at the outside, the mounting holes in the reproduction are usually but not always drilled slightly off center and the casting voids are different. see photos. The reproduction is on the left in both photos. I have many examples if anybody is interested.

    With the exception of a few, most of the ones I've seen for sale on Ebay have been reproductions. I contacted the sellers and told them but they sold them as authentic anyway.

  • Thanks for the great info !

    The one I bought is a repro, none the less I think a great addition to any K-Code powered vehicle.

    Any issues with fitment? I take it that it should dial indicated as any non OEM bellhousing.
