C3RA/C4RA/C4OZ 6394 A Wedge Cobra Bellhousing Scattershield

  • This is item predates the Ford numbered castings. These were made with racing Cobras in mind starting in mid-1963. This is the second of two versions Shelby American is known to have used in Cobras which had no Ford part number on them.

    This would be period correct for any 260/289 Ford engine powered manual transmission race car whose owner bought parts directly from Shelby American late 1963-64.

    Multiple Ford numbered versions came out subsequently.

    I have a slide show available in *.pdf format covering the five bolt safety housings.

    Here is an Ebay auction for a used C3RA Wedge Cobra scattershield bellhousing by Ebay member "mustangmasters428" with a starting bid of $3,595.00:

    Here we have an extremely rare NOS early factory Blow Proof COBRA small block 5 bolt manual shift Bell housing for a 4 speed Ford Toploader or Super T 10 standard Shift Transmission. Ford cast the earlier small block motors with 5 mounting holes and 2 alignment pin holes at the back of blocks where the bell housing fastens. A very rare piece for this specific application this bell housing works for the Top loader or T10 4 speed or a T5 5 speed and Perfect for that A/C Cobra and we believe its New.

    This small block bell housing is just what's needed to bolt your transmission to that early Ford 221, 260, or 289 with the early 5 bolt pattern on the back of the block. Colored in what we believe is the original color there are no reason not to believe it is not new a unrestored survivor. Rarer than rare surely a special part for a really valueable car I hope a fellow restorer helps it find the right home. Seen in the home page at 5 K were looking to find a owner at a much fairer price thanks in advance.
