Does anyone know if Bob Sharp is still racing his A/S Camero?
As long as the bellhousing is SFI certified. Or can be recertified, then you might be able to use what you have. The bellhousings without windows has to be recertified every 5 years. The ones with a window every 2 years. Lakewood had bellhousings that used I believe 3/8" bolts and those will not recertify. It was a money ploy to make people buy new bellhousings this would have been around 1998 to 2004, so you may need to look into that before spending money on shipping only to find out that the shipping company made money and you have to buy a new bellhousing.

The dual 7" clutch is the wiz bang clutch and the tuning window is really wide. That is what I run, but there is nothing wrong with the 10" clutch that Advanced has. Whatever you do, get a clutch that is setup with low base pressure. Otherwise it's a parts killer, or a compromise to getting launch and high gear dialed in with the clutch tune.
