Jim, you do make a good point on the need for a scatter shield. Back in the day the flywheel\clutch assemblies were MUCH more likely to blow than they are today. Technology has largely solved the problem. I wouldn't have a problem running a standard bell housing if my car was being run in a modest manner.

But many of us are turning pretty high rpms and racing the cars with serious horse power. If thats the case then it's still a good idea to run a scatter shield.
