Bellhousing Breakage

[Jim Kaekel]

Jody: I have stock rubber mounts on the motor and trans. I place a pair of jackstands on the front frame rails and a pair under the rear axle when I jack it up to change trans., etc. It has an H&R Parts 'n' Stuff anti-roll bar in the rear which stiffened up the car quite a bit. For example, if you jack up the left front under the lower control arm, a little bit after the left front wheel is off the ground, the right front comes off shortly after. Prior to the installation of the anti-roll bar, the left front, for example, would have to be way off the ground before the right front tire would raise off the ground, so the anti-roll bar definitely stiffened up the chassis. PS- Tell Toby I said "Hi"

Jim ,We had tranny case problems when we brought out the chevelle travis races,broke one on the chassis dyno, got to asking around and another racer with a similer combination suggested leaving the bolts on the cross member with a little bit of movement room between the cross member and tranny mount .... worked for us !! Kenny shawver makes a neat brace for the turbo 350 also . Dennis Rocketworks racecars
