Fitment Notes

• Compatible with Tremec T56 Magnum and 2003-2004 Cobra OE T56 transmissions only - not compatible with T5, TR3650, or MT-82 transmissions
• 1979-1993 Mustang owners must use a 1996-2004 Mustang clutch fork for proper fitment
• Non-SFI rated - not approved for sanctioned racing or competition use requiring SFI 6.1 certification; for street and non-sanctioned performance use only
• Transmission-to-bellhousing bolts and bellhousing-to-block bolts are sold separately
• Works with both fork-style clutch actuation and hydraulic throwout bearing setups

Features

• Low-pressure cast aluminum construction - significantly lighter than SFI steel bellhousings while retaining adequate street strength
• All mounting faces, dowel locations, and bolt holes are fully CNC machined for precise, rattle-free fitment
• Correct Ford Modular/Coyote engine bolt pattern - designed specifically for the T56 and T56 Magnum transmission bolt pattern
• Compatible with both fork-style and hydraulic throwout bearing release systems for installation flexibility
• Pressure cast finish provides a clean, factory-like appearance

Product Description

The McLeod Racing 8580 is a CNC-machined cast aluminum bellhousing engineered to mate Ford 4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, and 5.4L Modular V8 engines to the Tremec T56 Magnum or 2003-2004 Cobra OE T56 6-speed manual transmission. It is the go-to solution for builders looking to complete a Coyote swap or T56 Magnum transmission conversion in a Fox Body or SN95 Mustang without the added cost and weight of an SFI-certified steel bellhousing. The result is a clean, factory-looking installation at a fraction of the weight and price of steel alternatives.

All critical mating surfaces, dowel pin locations, and bolt hole positions are fully CNC machined for a precise, direct fit with no shimming or modification required. The bellhousing supports both fork-style clutch actuation and hydraulic throwout bearing setups, giving builders flexibility in their clutch system choice. Note that this bellhousing does not carry an SFI 6.1 rating and is intended for street and non-sanctioned performance use only. Transmission-to-bellhousing and bellhousing-to-block bolts must be sourced separately.
