The word any is a little strong. ..

But a JE/F bowl and a JC/G bowl are one in the same.

The E and the C are single cast and the F and G are a split.

Whatcha cookin'?

Just fyi, the linkages are no where even close to similar if you were thinking droop.

And welcome to our deranged world.

Well I got a 1977 hornet with a JE pump and noticed I had a pretty good growl coming from the bowl bearings, long story short I tore it down and found carnage but was wanting to put on a split bowl in the rebuild process, just for the purpose of putting on a droop. I've seen split bowls for sale but they don't say what they're off of and didn't want to buy anything that won't fit and thanks a bunch for the info and the welcoming this seems to be a great group.

You will find yourself having to get pretty darn creative to get a droop to work with that JE. Not impossible, but I would caution you to do the research. .

You can always install a split bowl with the regular adapter to get you up and running while you scare up the parts needed to do the droop.

Good luck and while your that deep, go all the way with a new thrust, packing and grease seals.

Imho the growl did not come from the bowl bearings,  it came from everything else touching stuff it had no business touching..

Good hunting.

Thank you very much for the info, yeah I'm gonna try to get it done I work at a shop with a full on machine shop with aluminum and stainless laying all over so if I have to I can build what I need, but I wasn't sure if a split bowl was considered a G style bowl or what and if it would even fit a 12 JE pump, and yes while I'm at it this pump is getting the full meal deal over the winter.
