My cobra came with a 428 engine and it originally had a cast iron bell housing. I replaced it with a cast steel bell housing made by Anson. I've seen cast steel bell housings that had COBRA lettering on them. They were identical to my Anson except for the lettering. They were nice since they had a bolt on bottom section that would allow the clutch to be inspected or pulled without removing the whole bell housing. They were very heavy but did not have a flange that hung down as far as exesting scattershields. About 20 years ago NHRA revised there rules and did not allow cast steel bell housings so I changed to a current design.

Have fun, Ray
