Reply to "Mangusta ZF Bellhousing (one arm) Available"

Very nice work!!

Reference photos of "two ear"  bellhousing likely used in most Mangustas.

If I was asked for my opinion, I would make this two eared version.....and simply machine off unused smog pump/alternate alternator wing on RH side if not needed.  NO ONE is going to fault some extra casting bits showing up.

Cut both wings off and redrill ZF pattern for early Pantera.....and or GT40's as well!   This would maximize sales potential of what must be crazy foundry costs!

Earliest Mangusta bellhousings had smaller diameter body, to use with smaller diameter 289 flywheel/clutch assy.  This version here could be easily substituted along with the 1968 302 steel block plate....and no one would be the wiser!!!   Starter position would need to be dealt with......minute change there as well!  (change flywheel!)

Great to see these hard to find parts being redone!

Here is pic illustrating "right side up" mounting of ZF in the Goose.

Possibly the last good bellhousing leaving the factory back in about 1996-1997!   (There were some blem'd versions left on the shelf......porosity issues......!
