Jaguar V12 5 Speed Adapter Bell Housing
Our Multi-Pattern V12 bellhousing was designed for several reasons. First we needed a new bellhousing for our popularV12 E-Type 5 Speed conversion. Second we wanted to offer a bellhousing for people to install a wide variety of transmissions against a Jaguar V12 engine that may be in an XJS, E-Type, street rod, etc.
What we did is come up with a bellhousing that uses both early and later Jaguar V12 dowel locations. ( Late engines will require drilling and threading unused mounting holes)
We also added a multi hole pattern that will accommodate some popular 4 and 5 speed platforms.
Technical specifications:
The bellhousing uses a 4.680\" diameter register bore. This is the standard General Motors register. It is smaller than any other register. This allows you to turn down retainers from other transmissions rather than have to make spacer rings which are more work.
Maintains stock E-Type housing height.
It has the standard FORD style T5 pattern. The Ford style T5 pattern was used on all FORD products, JEEP, later GM, NISSAN, COSWORTH SIERRA, and TVR Borg Warner T5 5 speeds.
It has the standard Tremec pattern. This pattern is used on all TREMEC 3550 and TKO transmissions, FORD TOPLOADER 4 SPEED, RICHMOND GEAR 5 and 6 SPEED transmissions. JERICO, G-FORCE, TEX RACING, and JT5 dog tooth off road racing transmissions use this pattern as well. TheT56 transmission WILL NOT WORKsince it does not use the standard Tremec bolt pattern.
It is heat treated T356 alloy. It has NO provisions for clutch forks since it was designed for multi purpose. Offering ports on either side of the housing for hydraulic line access. Compatible hydraulic release bearings from Tilton Engineering, Mcleod Industries, and QuarterMaster have been used with this bellhousing.
