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.
If you don't need a Cobra we also offer the Aluminum version described below just ask and well set up a auction just for you
This cast aluminum bell housing has been cleaned, detailed, and inspected, and has been found to be free of cracks, damage, modifications or any repairs.
In addition the steel block plate is ready to install and also as clean as the bell making this kit a nice find to complete your classic restoration. Commonly used in vehicles such as Mustang, Falcons, Fairlanes, Comets, Galaxies, and Rancheros, these are getting very hard to find, especially in a good clean undamaged ready to go condition. Note: Should you have the need we do have its automatic counterpart available here on eBay, we felt the call from our faithful customers to offer the standard shift version this week as part of our weekly offering of standard shift items such as transmissions, shifters, bell housings, and flywheels.
The quality of these units are time tested, as Ford used a better grade of metal and built these to specifications that fit the job and perform it well. For slightly more than the price of inferior quality reproductions, you can be the proud owner of this original piece. Good Bidding!

The five bolt design safety steel bell housings marked COBRA were painted a couple of different colors of silver depending on time period. Painting was done to the exterior only before any machine work was done to the castings. There was not a single casting version but a family for them started by Shelby American in 1963 for their racing Cobras and carried on by Ford Motor Company as over the counter accessories for several years.
The first two versions were created for Shelby American and have no Ford engineering number on them. The four other COBRA versions had Ford numbers on them. The maker also produced them under their own brand name and there was a version for Sunbeam Tigers. Dearborn Steel Tubing Company individually packaged parts for Ford and shipped them as required. Boxes with new old stock parts inside had a shipping label on them from Dearborn Steel Tubing Company but that is not who made them.
Very interesting information, Dan. Thank you for the contribution of your time in relating this information here.
