I'm not an "installer", just an engine builder, but I will say that I've sent out engines with these RST clutch kits for BBF's, FE's, and SBF's, and have never heard of anyone having any trouble. All TKO-spec bellhousings from Quick Time, no matter if they are for a 460, FE, or SBF, are all the same depth. The TKO input shaft and bearing retainer are all the same length. The RST pressure plate is the same for all RST kits, and the discs are all the same, with exception of different hubs for different input shaft specs.

It's certainly an interesting scenario, but it doesn't surprise me...

Well that's just it. A lot of times the threads don't specifically state exactly what the parts are or who made them. They just list the symptoms, the fact that they're using a Tremec, or a Mcleod, or what not. That's why Lippy needs, assuming he fixes it, to start a new thread that includes his exact parts, his exact problem, and his exact fix. And not have it all hidden under "Clutch Fork Travel." A found a couple of different threads that sounded close, like this one: Transmission: Problems installing Tremec TKO but none of them were exactly what Lippy was using.
