TKO-600 in ERA 289FIA: spacer required?

Mike Forte (Fortes.com) tells me I can get a Quicktime bellhousing that matches the long input. Good argument for single sourcing related parts.

After reading all of the threads today dealing with bellhousings, and specifically the QT, I would agree with that hands-down.

What is the big deal with spacer? I use one on my TKO with a Lakewood and it is easy. Put the BH on, put the spacer on, put the trans in- no muss, no fuss. Of course, if you can use a differnt BH or trans and save a couple hundred bucks on the spacer, then it makes sense, but if cost is not the issue, the spacer is easy.

So do I, and it is easy, but every time I'm under my car I think to myself "it would be nicer had Lakewood just built their BH out a half-inch." But I have no intention of replacing it now....
