michael brown 09-03-2009, 03:54 PM hey yall i was just wonderin if a NP435 would mate to a EFI 5.0 the bell housing on the np435 is from an old 400M i was just wonderin if anyone would know if the crank is drilled for the pilot bearing and about the bellhousing matching up... i dont fool with fords very much and would appreciate any help on this subject.. im tryin to put together a fun lil play toy and want the EFI on it 83kingcab 09-03-2009, 04:04 PM you would have to get a bellhousing for a smallblock. the 400m pattern is the same as a 460 BB michael brown 09-03-2009, 04:09 PM hey just my luck... i figured id have to swap it out... i have never seen a NP435 mated to a "small block" and ive not been good at searching apparently.. how much would a bellhousing cost for that thing.. and other than that will it work? FordFascist 09-03-2009, 04:12 PM The pilot should be the same, along with the input spline of 1 1/16 x 10 spline. The bellhousing off of any SBF-equipped Ford truck will work. NP435s came behind small block Fords all the time. Bellhousings are an easy piece to located, you can even buy them aftermarket if you can't find a used one! michael brown 09-03-2009, 04:18 PM ha.. looks like i need to head to pull apart... the only late 70s trucks ive seen had them 400Ms in them... did the NP435 come in the 80s trucks? 82F100SWB 09-03-2009, 04:28 PM Any truck 300 or 302/W 3 or 4 speed bellhousing will work. They're pretty easy to find. michael brown 09-03-2009, 04:40 PM hey thanks for the info... i really didnt know bout all that.. i forgot to also mention that the EFI 5.0 i got is in a lincoln and its an automatic... would it still have the pilot bearing hole drilled in the crank? brewchief 09-03-2009, 04:56 PM hey thanks for the info... i really didnt know bout all that.. i forgot to also mention that the EFI 5.0 i got is in a lincoln and its an automatic... would it still have the pilot bearing hole drilled in the crank? Yes Make sure you get the proper flywheel, truck bell needs a 164 tooth, 5.0 is 50 oz imbalance, one for a mid eighties 5.0 truck will work, one from a 351w(5.8) will not, wrong imbalance michael brown 09-03-2009, 04:59 PM man thanks for all the good info... i was kinda waitin to get poo thrown at me.. but yall are alot of help.. im gonna get on this and see what i can find out.. Twisted Cruiser 11-26-2009, 11:00 AM you can use the bell housing off of a t5 from behind the 5.0, using the 5.0 flywheel,clutch,starter and clutch fork gfbgreaser289 11-26-2009, 12:48 PM pm me ive got all the stuff you need to run a hydraulic external slave. i was using the setup in my 95 f150. br0nc0xrapt0r 11-26-2009, 12:55 PM what Tcase are you using 1sicbronconut 11-26-2009, 04:42 PM Look for two wheel drive trucks more of those were small blocks back in the day. | |
