Yes the clevo and windsor have the same bellhousing pattern.

Dellows have the conversion kit, I believe it is the only one available.

Go for a S2 or S3 AU XR8 motor too - they have a few factory go-fast bits, or even better, find a 220kw unit or a T-series stroker.

It's nice to see someone going with a ford, instead of a chev like all the sheep out there.

Ive just finished puting one in mine i used a dellow kit it was realy good
apart from the clutch slave didnt bolt up i had to drill the bellhouseing to move it back a bit. as for the fit i used a el xr8 engine and the power steering and a/c didn't fit they hit the chassis.i had to use a modified F150 p/s and a/c bracket. and clevo don't fit you have to flog the fire wall to clear the head. any other questions just ask mate.

I had the same issue with the idler and the AC pump hitting chassis.
I just swapped mine back to the old style windsor front dress.

Plus its a shitload easier to replace a micro-v (serpentine) belt if it snaps, and there's only one belt, not three.
