kgs365 What ever bellhousing you install on the back of the motor you need to have it centered. I run a lakewood without cutting the bottom. This does void the warranty. I do think that the bell housing will still protect your legs and passenger. As long as you buy and SFI flywheel and clutch, the possiblitity is very small about a clutch or flywheel explodsion coming out of the bell.
Quick time now has SFI rated alot of the bellhousings. I would check about this for your application. Quicktime is half the weight of a lakewood. Lakewood has been around for 40+. Every stick car I have has a lakewood. I have blown clutches with the disc failures but no major one where the flywheel grenades.
If you are going to abuse the car with powershifts or hard racing you may also want to look at a trans shield or blanet to protect your legs from these breaking. Rick L.

Install installed a Quicktime with aluminum 496 FE and short shaft TKO600 and went in with no issues at all. A bit lighter and looks much nicer then Lakewood in my opinion.

Have the Quicktime on mine and it needed no trimming and ground clearance is fine . Dial it in .... regardless what Quicktime says . Mine was out about 7 thou. .... I used the RobbMc dowels and it was a snap to dial in . In a perfect world , the dimensions and tolerances on the block and bellhousing never vary . However , we don`t live in a perfect world . You may get lucky , but please check it anyway for peace of mind .
