Lakewood vs. Quicktime Bellhousing

[gsharapa]

I have a Quicktime also on 427/496 KC FE. I have TKO 600 with the short input shaft as you can buy them either way. The specs on my car are identical to CSX4000/Kirkham and really made for a 4 speed but with the Qucktime and short shaft TKO600 everything lined up and bolted right in. I sent my bellhousing to Keith Craft and he did dial check it prior to shipping my engine to me.

I had a lakewood an two previous Cobras and they were heavier and more difficult in my opinion to install and also don't look as good. I had a clutch blow up on me in a 1970 Boss 302 and made a mess but these cars are so light and clutches are so good now I'm not really worried about that any more.

Our experience is that the Quicktime is much less likely to need adjustment to dial in properly.

The "SFI" thing is that QT sells several of the same application units in both SFI approved and non-SFI models. I have been told the only difference is the SFI certification decal and that if you don't need the cert choose the cheaper, non cert version.

Don't know for sure if that is true, your results may vary.

Have had my Lakewood for a lot of years with flange trimmed for road clearance and it needed no adjustment.Never heard of Quicktime until reading about them here,maybe cause I never looked.Love knowing the steel bell is there after seeing a sbc Corvette almost cut in half at drag strip many years ago with flywheel explosion.
