I have been communicating with QT about bell housings. I forgot to mention this with my first post. What chassis is it going in? I ask because the QT's have a lower indexed clutch fork that can get tangled with the frame rails. It can be re-indexed but you need a bigger window, of course it finishes up on the drivers side. We also typically trim the bottom flange of the blow proof bells for increased ground clearance. Both of those mods weaken them and nullify SFI ratings of course but now it makes it more like a factory bell with an inspection cover that is stronger on the top and will be more inclined to spit stuff out the bottom. I'm good with it going that way but you can't count on it of course. My FE bell is iron like the most raced 427 in history which also has an explosion blanket over the top of it.
