289 COBRA Bellhousing CSX

[KarlCSX2498]

On the original 289 Cobra bellhousing. The part with COBRA cast into the top and NHRA approved etc.

Does that scattershield take a full splash guard or a bottom only guard.
thanks for any help, Karl

If it had COBRA and NHRA cast into the bellhousing, you must be referring to the optional scattershield, which was not a production item. They bolt up to the backing plate just like the original aluminum housing provided on the street cars. I am assuming you are not restoring one of the race cars, which would have come with the scattershield. Be sure to check the concentricity and flatness of the transmission flange. It has to be in line with the pilot bearing or you will wear the endput shaft. Best, Bob
