Re: Bellhousing
I inquired a couple of times, but they never had any in stock. Compare the weight to make sure it is a good weight savings. I know one would think it should be lighter, but that can vary depending on how they made it and if it requires a liner.

Re: Bellhousing
They're advertised steel or titanium liner.

Re: Bellhousing
Thanks guys.
It really ended up being a no brainer. The McLeod is 15 pounds lighter, has a larger inspection window, was on the shelf vs. 3/4 week wait and was $100 cheaper. They currently are shipping with the titanium liner for no extra cost. |

Re: Bellhousing
I really like that 15 lbs savings. I would also like to know what the fork options are, with Browell there are some great adjustability options.

Re: Bellhousing
I bought the McLeod SBF bellhousing for my 93 Mustang stocker, it is really nice, thinking of using it on my CJ project. I am not sure about the fork, the stock mustang cable will work, haven't really looked at what I will need for mechanical linkage.

Re: Bellhousing
Nice big window. What trans are you running with that bell? I heard the depth is for a T5 and that is different than a Jerico?
