f-1 bell housing, 4 speed.

[cuzncletus]

Somewhere in my picking thru one of my friends' scrap parts I picked up a bell housing from a 1949 F-1. The owner was having his granny gear 4 speed swapped for a T-5. I passed on the trans but took the bell housing remembering something about using these for later trans swaps. Were there any adapters made for these bell housings?

actually the front part of the trans, which contains the clutch cross shaft. some years this piece actually bolts to the main case

Kind of confusing with duplicate threads going.

Don't know if you are asking about the flywheel housing or the hogs head.
If he was installing a T5 I would think he would have used the hogs head
off his 4-speed unless he used an adapter like the one pictured.

What does what you have look like? This is what is option referred to as a hoghead adapter.
