DeTomaso Mailing List: April 98, Message #154

Come on Mike, you're slipping.  The question was about the
385 series engines - 429's and 460's, not FE's.  385 series
engines are designed much like our beloved Clevelands (the 
335 series).  They even have the same "poor" oiling system 
but since no one spins the big blocks to 10,000 rpm you don't 
hear of many problems.  

Later,
Dan Jones

Does anyone know if a bellhousing adaptor kit for ford big blocks is
available?  If so , who, how much etc.  

>>>YES!  Pantera Performance Center in Colorado stocks these; they like

to put 427 side-oilers in Panteras, but the bellhousing will fit any FE

motor.  I don't know if it's an adaptor for your existing bellhousing;

their catalog makes it sound like it's actually an all-new ZF 
bellhousing.  Give 'em a call, see what they say!

>It looks like a small block
chevy (aaak) kit is available for around a grand.  

>>>AACK!

Mike
