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

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

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

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

A good quality trans case blanket is less expensive than taking apart the trans, shipping, cert expense and shipping it back, putting back together, (if someone else needs to do this). Just saying...…...

I have a TH350 Ultrabell on the shelf from an old combination. BOP ears have been cut off for firewall clearance so it only fits SBC now.
Kept cracking 350 cases in the bell housing until I went this route.

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. ??
