Quicktime Bellhousing

Here is a pic, more in my gallery. Fortes welded on the hydraulic cylinder mount. The throw out arm will hopefully be the only billet alum piece on the car.

Looks pretty nice.
Do you plan to "index" it?

I just got off the phone with Steve at Fortes. He said the QT did not need to be indexed. They have a sweet setup with the slave and billet fork.

I noticed Kirkham has a similar unit but they have 2 holes on the billet fork for a lighter or faster throw.

Index it. Although not nearly as bad or unpredictable as the Lakewood it may need to be indexed. I mounted mine and it was out by .009

Some people wouldn't worry about any less than .010 but I put the offset dowels in there anyway and got it down to .003

Tremec trans seem to be more sensitive to this for wearing out front seals.

That's good to know, thanks. I got my setup from Kirkham.

hi-tech, I have my Kirkham and 99% of the parts to get it running, but I haven't started the install. I've had some delays on the installation side of things. I hope to get started in May.

I also had to index my Quicktime as it was out about .020" . FYI ... I went to RobbMc performance and used their adjustable dowels with internal set screw for locking in place after indexing and wrench flats to rotate the dowels . Super easy to do .... 5 minutes and I was in the .003 " range , and I could repeat it when I took the bellhousing off and reinstalled it .
Great product that does exactly what they say it will .

Here you go. After a few cool beverages late tonight we have decided to build a SFI version for the RM-6056 (FE to TKO 600/500, TR3550, Mustang T5) if we have a good response in the next few days. This will be a RM-6056-SFI. It will be available the first part of June (5 weeks). Who needs sleep.

As far as new products, we have developed over 40 new housings in the last year alone. We are currently working on a few new manual bells to complete our manual line:
-5 bolt Ford housing to TKO 600/500, TR3550, Mustang T5 (RM-6062)
-460 BB Ford to a T56 Viper (RM-8051)
-Chevy LS1 97-04 c5 auto/05-08 C6 auto (RM-8035)
-6.1 Hemi Mopar to TKO 600/500, TR3550, Mustang T5
-6.1 Hemi Mopar to T56 Viper
-6.1 Hemi Mopar to T56
In addition we will have a full line of automatic housings (SFI 30.1) for the 4L60E, AOD, Powerglide and C4 to most domestic V8's available mid summer. Later this fall our plans are to work on the 4 and 6 cylinder bells.

Our business plan is to build what people ask for and need. Some make no business sense, they just help people out and are fun to build. We hope that people will support our quest in the process. As a drag and circle track racer for over 30 years I understand the importance of quality, safety, weight, price, and not having to spend hours making the product fit. More importantly the balance of all of these.

FYI, the RM-6056 won the SEMA 2007 media award for best new product. We feel that we have a unique product that is the best value available. Thanks for your interest in QuickTime products.
