Reply to "Dash 2 bellhousing needed"

Last-One, I was told by Lloyd Butfoy that there are few if any parts left for the rare dash 1-1/2 ZF used in a few pushbuttons. As I mentioned before, he calls this combination a dash 1-1/2 'cause the real dash-1, according to the ZF factory, was only in Mangustas. The hybrid 1-1/2 transaxle was a dash-1 Mangusta transmission case and gears, flipped upside down and bolted to a dash-2 Pantera diff case with a Pantera end cap & diff cover. Some came with the 4.50:1 'Goose ring & pinion set rather than the 4.22:1 Pantera gearset so while the acceleration with a 351-C would snap your neck, the top end at redline was only 135 mph. Ford recalled and scrapped every one they could find due to engine warranty problems associated with over-revving and today, they're rare. So don't figure that it can be 'easily/cheaply' rebuilt by anyone.
