Hi. I've got an ali bellhousing for an essex V6 engine thats been modified to fit a... well that's just it, I'm not 100% sure what gearbox its been modified for! I've attached a picture to help. The dimensions of the four bolts are approximate (4.5" from top-to-bottom and 5.5" ish across the bottom).

My first guess is a type 9 gearbox because of the hole drilled in the top for the peg of a type 9 to fit into... but I can't be sure - anyone got any ideas?

(could it be for a type E?)

 

looks to me like a type 9 chap looks a bit off centre though. go onto burton power they sell the v6 bellhousing for the type 9 box and they shud have measurements to go by

 

the adapter plate is loose and just lying on top of the housing so I guess it does look a bit off centre in the photo

 

ahrite make sure measurements are dead on when welding if its off itll make for a very hard installation of the box.

 

all the welding has already been done - there is an aluminium sandwich plate between the actual housing and the would be fitted gearbox - the plate bolts up tight when a gearbox is attached.

Unfortunately no help from Burton Power -can anyone say this is definitely the size (using the dimensions of the bolts) that it's been made for a type 9?
