Bellhousing question

[DanEC]

Good point - I have the non-stamped Quicktime. Didn't realize the stamped 6056 had that much bigger a rim.

Lippy - what oil pan are you using? It's apparently a little shallower than my Canton 810.

I guess it wouldn't be too big of a deal to fab up a 3/16 inch angle of about 45 deg between the legs to bolt to the bottom bellhousing plate fasteners that would act as a skid plate to avoid hitting something on the front vertical lip of the BH.

I'm using the Aviaid. It is almost exactly flush with the bottom of the frame. How much does your bell extend below the bottom of the frame?

You know, occasionally I see roads that are "in between pavings" that have the sewer pipe and cap sticking up above the road surface, sometimes by a couple of inches. If your bellhousing planted a nice, fat kiss on the lip of the sewer pipe you could be in for a world of hurt....

True, but there are road hazards anywhere, and they are no different than if you're driving a new Vette. Owning a Cobra brings the responsibility of having to watch all things just a little bit closer.

It's about an inch below the frame - and maybe a little more - I haven't precisely measured it. It sounds pretty much the same as yours.

Thanks. The heck with it. I just won't cruise over any protruding manhole covers or large possums.

I measured it - it's 1-1/16 inch below the frame rails. It may be very slightly higher than yours because of the spacer I have under my transmission mount. My oil pan is exactly 1 inch below the frame - a little more than I thought.
