Well, your thread kind of got hijacked on the minor issue. In case enough hasn't been said about the bellhousing, consider this: it's not your toes that are in the line of the clutch assembly. It's more like your knees and lower legs. If you really, really want to save $300, you might want to do it somewhere else. Your clutch may never blow. You may never see a clutch blow even on a track day. But $300 is cheap to keep both of your legs, and possibly other body parts, and possibly the body parts of bystanders, intact and in place should it happen.
There are many places you can put that skimped $300 in later, when you have it and if you choose. It's hard to swap out a bellhousing and you're likely not to ever do it unless you're pushed to by track requirements or something.
