Casting #14060627
General Motors Part Number 14060627 Clutch Housing
Used OEM
Pictures and descriptions are from an original
used GM part. The casting number and GM part
number are the same on this aluminum one year,
one model bellhousing. The transmission mounting
holes are M12 x 1.75 thread, and are tilted to allow
for floor tunnel clearance when using the T5
transmission.
Fork Hole
1983 was the last model year that the F bodies
used mechanical linkage. I haven't found a listing
for the fork boot, but GM part #14007355 fits. The
fork hole is positioned to allow the fork to exit at
more of a 8 o'clock position for floorboard clearance.
Top View
This bellhousing has the chevy bolt pattern.
Passenger Side
The starter is mounted on the passenger side. And
it takes the small 80's starter. This housing will
only fit 153 tooth flywheels.
Casting Number
The casting number is located on the flange above
the starter hump on this example.
Inside View
Close Up Inside
By moving the fork hole, the fork hole, fork pivot,
and center hole are aligned. This allows use of a
straighter, more balanced clutch fork, compared
to the 1978-87 A & G body clutch fork.

Disclaimer:
Most parts that I describe and picture, have identification on or with them, others I can identify from other sources and deduction (educated guess).
Factory correct applications are your responsibility. GM made part and part # changes with no rhyme but a reason (no production interruptions at any cost).
Applications are for replacement parts that were available at the time of parts book printing, and when possible model specific assembly manuals.
My observations come from the parts I have in my collection or other reliable sources your parts may differ.
If Factory correctness is your goal, do more research, join car clubs, forums and buy an assembly manual if one is available for your Project Car (you wont be sorry).
This is a fun and interesting part of the hobby!
