This bell housing is not compatible with the Lenco.   The Lenco needs to register in the bell housing, concentric with the crankshaft and bolt to the bell housing like a 4-speed manual transmission.

If the bolt pattern doesn't interfere, you might be able to reuse your bell housing by locating it with dowel pins and drilling/tapping the new engine plate.  The new rear engine plate will have two bolt patterns, 1. a Ford pattern to attach to the block and 2. a Chevy pattern (with dowel pins) for the Lenco bell housing to bolt to.

Then you will need the appropriate coupling for the input shaft of the Lenco to the Ford crankshaft.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joe
