Vic.  While I have a number of pickup and truck bellhousings for the Y, shipping might be expensive.  Just the same, you’re welcome to what you need just for the cost of shipping.  Just let me know.  Ted.

Thanks Ted, I'll know more once I talk to Ram and see if they have any ideas.

For What it is worth the truck bellhousing uses a different fork that pivots on a screw in ball and would need to be converted some how to use the passenger car fork.

The Quicktime bellhousing I have for a Y uses a SBF flywheel machined and drilled for the Y crankshaft and uses a 4.6L V8 Ford starter.

Was this offered as a package (fabricated/special order I assume) or did you modify the flywheel yourself and if so which SBF flywheel was used?

THANX! for sharing ...

Based on the reviews here and other places it appears that the Quicktime is a P.I.T.A. situation to install . Its been mentioned several places as grinding the block is necessary to install those bell housings.

Like many I value my feet and toes and want to put the best protection between myself and miscellaneous flying debris at reasonable cost.

I stumbled upon this
https://transmissionadapters.com/collections/ford/products/fo1001901-ford-y-block-to-sbf-manual-trans

That allows the use of a small block Ford bell housing.
Problem is that between this adaptor and the purchase of a blow proof you have a pretty hefty investment into this setup.

But again what are your tootsies worth?
Just thought I would put it out there and see what you guys think.

I think Vic has the best cost effective solution with the use of the steel plate.

Here"s a review of additional kits availiable along with some pictures.

The earlier Quicktime Y bell housings required some grinding on the block and the starters to accommodate the larger diameter starters.  My QT bell housing is one of the newer ones that has been built to accommodate using the Ford 4.6L starters which are much smaller in diameter and thus clear the block without issue.


While the flywheel was supplied by Quick Time with the bell housing, it is a 164 tooth SBF flywheel that had the center hole and crankshaft bolt pattern machined into it in lieu of the SBF hole and bolt pattern.  It would appear that a standard SBF 164 tooth flywheel could have the center hole machined larger to fit the Y while the Y bolt pattern can interspersed both between and slightly outside the existing SBF holes.  It would need to be neutral balanced so starting off with an aftermarket flywheel would make that easier from the git go assuming it has the bolt on 24 or 50 ounce counter weight that can be easily removed.  The starter came from the local parts store.

THANX AGAIN TED!

With a proper block plate, all should be well.

When I put the Quick Time bell on the 56 we used a 302 Ford ring gear and cut the Y Block flywheel down to fit. I also used a Diaphragm Clutch that is lower profile than the three finger. I was afraid of using a diaphragm type think  
it wouldn't hold, but was wrong (and believe me I'm never wrong) Larry 

By the way I wished it would have slipped, might have save me two rear end replacements and a red face or two ! Larry 

Larry, what make, model and part number of diaphragm clutch do you have? I think I need to go to a stronger clutch and there are a million choices out there with prices all over the map. The trans is a T5 from a 90 Mustang GT, Mummert flywheel drilled for a 10.5" 10 spline clutch. Thanks very much in advance, JEFF..................
