Re: Mcleod vs Lakewood SFI Bell Housing ?
aaah, I found this thread....
I received my new Quick Time bell housing, last week.
Facts:
First thing, these guys are down right fun to deal with ! Very accommodating, and informative.
The SFI approved unit, for Chevrolet using a 168 tooth flywheel... P/N RM-6022
The 22 pounds that they state on their site, does not include the 7 pound block plate.
Actual weight savings looks to be around 13 pounds... which is still quite substantial.
The block and transmission mating surfaces, are machined finish... which makes me MUCH more confident about alignment.
In speaking with the fellow about the manufacturing process, I can't see how they could possibly be "off-set" in relation to the block. The final machining process, indexes off the transmission centre.
oh... and they look like NOTHING you've seen before !
Here are a couple photos:
