why would i need a bellhousing. shouldnt the tranny come with one? how long you think to do this swap? i figure the tranny can be out in about a half an hour. probably the same to throw in the manual maybe less being its lighter. so what you think is the hardest part. does the 5.0 have mech. clutch or a hydra. clutch? ---

When you buy a new tranny, it usually does not come with a bellhousing. ---

No just a X Pipe is different not a H-pipe. then it gets really confusing. Some say they will fit and some it won’t. Make sure you read the entire specs for the x pipe. all h pipes will fit though. ---
