    Hi all,

    Just wondering if a Toploader Bell , can drilled to adapt T5 ?

     

    What’s required to adapt it?

     

    I’ve found a rare, 6cyl 250 to Toploader Bell.

     

    I was thinking it could be the go for my XY 250 manual Wagon. As I can keep my hydro clutch slave on the passenger side of the Bell.

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Here’s a pic of my 6cyl - toploader bell

    Thanks that’s interesting to know.

    I will try the same and mod my XY , 3 speed bell housing . The one that’s currently running in the car.


    The 6cyl to toploader bell housing I also have, I won’t molest or use that unless I have to.

    The single 36e9b14da0432e80be99dfff1e41178d.jpggearbox should arrive in a week or two, I might try and fit it before Xmas. See how I go for spare time.

    Cheers

    Update! And tech questionc00419ad03e10449187e264ccf7cdadd.jpg -20fe876652744d675a84a25bf3d921da.jpg

    Hi all

    I’ve found a good Cortina Single Rail box that has the short stubby
    extension housing so I’m confident the gear stick position will work with my bench seat.

    (It won’t arrive here for about two weeks)

    The car currently is Borg 3 speed column shift.

    Will the single rail bolt straight up to my existing bell housing?

    Or would I be better off modifying a 6cyl to Toploader bell housing ?

    Thanks

    Maybe the only XY POV packs like mine and other early XY’s got the blow through heater from the XW? or even the XT?

    Most of them got the big box that you would normally think of for a xy heater.

    I’m no expert.

    My car however at some stage had a really old Smiths Beehive heater with fan , fitted to the car, probably because the original heater core leaked which was very common.

    It works great and is toasty warm it’s still got the old bakerlite hi/low switch.

    Hi all this might help

    There were two types of heater boxes for the XY.

    The one without the fan is commonly called a blow through heater it had a heater water core, but no fan
    and obviously no fan speed switch see the pic of my car
    It also came with the no fan , “heater delete” factory pov pack option.

    There’s a few things going on in my head about this..

    1) Don’t spend any more money

    2) Get rid of the gran pa gear change

    3) Floor shift would be nice

    4) Put an auto in , it’s just a cruiser

    As you can see I’m very confused

    But...I’m going to Sydney tomorrow a guy there, 70442b59521a0de83e18a907802c501f.jpghas a xy dash pad he’s giving away and he also mentioned he’s got a falcon 6 and a BW35 he doesn’t want.

    So basically anything could happen

    Thanks for that.

    I hear what you’re saying.

    When I get access to the car I will know a lot more.

    Cheers

    Hi

    I believe the body is totally rusted out.

    When I know more and can get a good look at it I will update here.

    Thanks for all the helpful info.
