th 350 ultra bell

They are nice and strong but they are also thicker and bigger. That might be a factor in a car with a stock floorpan transmission tunnel. I have a 3rd gen F body and the drivers side is very tight to the bell.

the trans must come apart to install?

Unless the Bell is specific to a aftermarket Case, (Reid, etc.) they will bolt on with your existing pump bolts. The tricky part is the Sanitary cutting of your existing stock Bell

[richie 2]

so no trans shield required if ultra/bell used ?...didn't realize that...

[Dano]

I think if required, you still need a blanket around main case.

The ultrabell only replaces the flexplate shield, not the trans shield/blanket.

Thus, my request to allow removable tunnels in stock that was shot down. It's a shame they don't understand that people want to make a car safe but not such a P.I.T.A. to work. on.

and don't forget those dangerous glass windows because we would all be safer with Lexan..

Why don't we just leave Stock alone for a while rather than trying to " Fix it"

You're probably right. Lexan would make it safer. I'll let you fight that battle. Just don't understand NHRA requires same safety equipment in a stocker VS Super Stocker but getting it to fit in a non-massaged tunnel is impossible on some cars. Not aware of Super Stockers running Lexan. ??
