We realize the HEH-BK is not listed. It has been referenced in other places and on other sites. When we inspected the car we thought is was the HEH-X, but after cleaning we are pretty sure it is BK. I have a couple a photos and apparently I am not smart enough to get them out of photobucket and into this post. We are not here to get into an argument about the car or tranny, just seeking info on the HEH-BK. If some one wants to send a pm with email address, I will forward photos.
thnx

I hope you can view these pictures ! This is about the best we can do with tranny in the car.

I think its the Comet version of the HEH-BX. HEH-U was the 64 hipo Comet 4 speed. I think someone told me before that HEH-BK is the 65 hipo Falcon/Comet 4 speed. I used to have a bunch of top loaders and a guy at a swap meet years ago bought most of mine. He told me he was looking for a BK, which I did not have or had ever heard of before that day. Today I only have three extra toploader left, I wish I held on to them. Check the botton for a vin number, K cars had vins stamped on the tranny.

There's a couple guys with tons of Toploader experience that may be able to help you ID the trans:

Awesome, that should confirm that it is a hipo tranny. Seems that you are finding more and more proof that your car is a legit hipo car. I am always a doubter on these cars without paper work, but you got me starting to believe.

We realize without the build sheet there is never proof. This is just a little project that we are in over our head and under water with, but we intend to research it as best we can, document as much as possible, and attempt to restore correctly. Thanks to all for the past and future help!!!

Camshaft, your project sounds great! I wish you all the luck with it and try to keep a restoration thread going here so we can follow along.
Build sheet or not...irrefutable evidence of the cars origin can exist.
Because of the rarity of the beast you may need to rely heavily on 65 Hipo Mustang resto's.
A couple of books I recommend (if you don't have them already) is Bob Mannels "Small Block Ford" and Tony Gregory's "Hipo Mustang". Lots of good details.
Good luck.

I also have a HEH-BK. I bought it to put in a Mustang. It was told that it came from a 65 HI PO Comet/Cyclone. You are confirming that the story is true. I haven't counted the teeth, but I was told it is a close ratio. I have the bellhousing/shifter/Zbar and more that I believe are from the same car. Regardless, they are period correct.

I have them listed on craigs list: http://nmi.craigslist.org/pts/4685101743.html

I would prefer to sell this to a Comet fan!

My previous post said I want to sell my HEH-BK. BUT:

I bought a 66 Capri and intend to put the trans behind a 5.0 HO I've built.

Look at the picture, the current shifter is aft like a Mustang. But this housing has two middle tapped mounts for a shifter. Will these line up for a 66 or is this for a 64-65 Comet? I don't want to trade out the housing if the BK is a rare item. I would rather sell it and find a 66-67 Comet/Fairlane trans.

Advise on shifter location for a 66?

Can't attach a picture. 'board attachment quota has been reached'

Bruce I believe the shifter location is right in the middle of the tail housing like the Fairlane.
Check the Comet lounge sticky on how to post pics.

Hi I have a hipo 65 comet. The trans is a heh-bk Seems the k was over stamped on data tag. Looks like it may be an s. Hard to see. I know car is legit hipo car. Found original owner. He is from Kansas. Hope this helps as to the mystery of the heh-bk trans. Seems mercury would get a special order for a hipo and then gather parts for the order. maybe not sure.
