muncie/tremec bellhousing/input shaft differences?

i have a 62 401 nailhead wich i bought a norwest speed belhousing/flywheel for, its to run a muncie 4 speed. lately iv been looking and noticing several other belhousings wich say they will work with either a muncie 4 speed or a tremec 5 speed. im wonderring if the bolt patterns are the same between both tranys? i reallize there will be a different spline on the input shaft of the trans wich will chainge wich clutch disk i can run. is the input shaft the same length? can i run a tremec on the belhousing i have and if so what model of trans or out of what donor car (mustang/vette/camero.....year?) should i be looking for? thanks for any help or info given in advance.

 

i bolted a "chevy" TKO 500 to a '56 chevy iron bellhousing then to an LS motor and then to a Gen 1 small block chevy. it all fit. so yeah, if a muncie will bolt on, a "chevy" TKO should bolt on. a "ford" TKO is different. (at least 6 years ago it was).

 

good to know, thanks again

 

Most "Chevy" TREMEC T-5s out of Camaros will "bolt-up" to a Chevy "Muncie-type" bellhousing AFTER you run a 1/2" drill bit through the four mounting-ear holes, as they're a slightly smaller metric-size hole. On-center hole LOCATION matches existing. My "Chevy" TREMEC TKO 600 bolts-up to an old Muncie-type bell with no mods. 26-spline input! I've found the T-5 inputs to be 14 OR 26 spline, depending on original application. DD

 

Just finished a Muncie 21 to Tremec TKO 600 swap in my '23 Track T. My bell housing is from a '64 Vette, bolted right up.
The TKO 600 has 26 spline shaft for an input shaft and a 31 spline shaft for an output shaft. On my app, a lot of tunnel surgery plus the old McLeod hyd TO bearing would allow the new 26 spline clutch to slip. Went to the 14000 series from McLeod, but they sent me a leaker. Waiting for a replacement now.











Now this is geared tall.

 

But it runs really cool..............

no t-stat.

 

how many bugs went over the windshield and got you ?

 

That is why I drive looking like this.

 

One may not wish to say a Tremec is this or that, they have a housing to fit nearly anything. Look at the Tremec website, its huge.

 

What r u doin takin pictures at 100+???? Lol

 

To convince you I wasn't taking pictures at 100 mph, this is the picture I took, and you know folks with T-buckets pulling trailers don't do no 100, more like 65. And this Tremec TKO 600 also bolted up to my Muncie bellhousing.

 

looks like that guy has been drivin' that T bucket for a long time !!!
