Got it mocked up....
Pond block, Quicktime bell, Powermaster starter...

They do not fit At least not as a simple bolt together.

It appears that the problem is with the Powermaster and the Pond block. I do not think the bellhousing is at fault.

The Powermaster has the battery power stud pointed toward the block - opposite of a normal Ford part. The Pond block has extra cooling and thus is wider in the water jacket area. The stud ends up .018 from the block - - just too close to be safe. I think we can clearance the block and shorten the stud to make it work. I still would want to fully insulate the connection - maybe with a shortened spark plug boot.
