Mr Polson 10,214 Posted January 3, 2017 You'll need a XF T5 bell housing to get T5 to fit behind a xflow, different bolt pattern and starter on other side. Â Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLO247 1,713 Posted January 3, 2017 I have been trying to sell it, the problem would be freight. Are you in Vic? Its iron and would have to weigh 20kg I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,331 Posted January 4, 2017 i have 2 crossy borgys here maybe i should redril one ? can you still keep them as a single rail if you re-drill the 1 hole ? is there a thread on the crossy t5 bell mod,i no gerg had a v8 one.i have quite a few boxes here at the moment i could drill.

SLO247 1,713 Posted January 4, 2017 I haven't seen a thread, I just pulled it out of an XD I bought years ago. Had a T5 but the bell housing has the old 76DA part number. Haven't looked at it for a while but i think they were drilled and tapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
