John, I do have here a 4 speed box out of an SWB or lusso this has fixation holes all around .
but clearly an other partnumber, and not this "cut in " construction on top.
508E 55676 as part number
the bellhousing number I mention above comes with later 250gt and 330gt cars see partcatalog picture.
and was not fixated on the moter afaik .that opening was maybe to let the disk dust out ?
why don´t you have studs on top of you´re picture in the begining ?
may be it was replace some time .They have the tandancy to make cracklines sometime.

John to find partnumber, you must take off the bellhousing its between the box and the house "inside".

I think its correct for the lusso not the PF .

John ,
I got the conformation from the best F- shop in Holland today that the Lusso and early 330GT don´t have studs on top
to fixate the BH .

So everything is fine on the first pic in this thread without threads on the motorblockhousing.
I have no idea why F. did made this change.(cut out/in)
Somebody?

Cornelis, that is very interesting. I looked up random pictures of Ferrari motors on the internet and noticed that some had no studs at top. Maybe this is just coincident. I also looked at pictures of my motor as it came out of the car a number of years ago and there again saw no studs. So, was there four M8x1.25 bolts there? I am hard pressed to think of a reason why this would

Well John ,

If you´re gearbox has the BH showed in my first pictures which I suspect.

You could drill some holes on top of BH , or leave it original.

So simple is that.

ciao

Okay, Cornelis. I think I finally understand. Apparently the diagram that you posted went over my head. Th message is that my b/h has no holes at the top, so no need for studs on the block. Sorry for being so thick. Here's my b/h.
