Actually you'll need a another bellhousing which I understand are no longer
available from Ford.  If it does break another complete tranny would
definitely be in order then as rebuild would be required on the broken one.

Neno,

What happens is the strap saws through the case, then you need a new
transmission.

Don't drive it!
