TKO 600 and Quick time bell not mating...HELP!!!
UGHHHHHHHHHH
So I've got the Quick time bell housing (RM-6056) on my 427FE and got my TKO-600 (0.82 OD) but the input shaft seems to be too long!
Has anyone else run into this problem? I thought the Quick Time was supposed to take care of this issue because it is taller than the Lakewood!
Do I need a shorter input shaft for the FE?

I converted to a TKO 600RR and got a package through Bruce Couture's Modern Driveline. Included was a custom shortened input shaft and everything bolted up just fine.  Give him a google. Rich |

Spacers work but you have a very good source for your TKO 600 in Detroit at Liberty Transmissions. www.libertysgears.com/ttc.htm these guys do excellent work.

Check with Brent Bylkins
dlotz Brent sell all the ideas you have. If you search this forum you will find this problem and solutions there too. I know there is a spacer to bolt to the bell housing. There is the change of the input shaft. Either way you need to double check to make sure that the trans doesn't wear out the thrust bearing on the crank. GM input shafts on lakewood bell housing are .380" too long and cause problems. The other issue is that they bolt up almost flat to the bell housing. Check to make sure the bell housing is centered on the crank also. Rick L.

Rick,
Dan called me last night and we discussed this at length. We were able to take the necessary measurements over the phone and he basically has two options: 1. Modify the input shaft 2. Grab a spacer.
He is taking care of this now with the vender that he bought the parts from.
As for why it happens, I'm not really sure. I think sometimes there is just a stacking of tolerances. His particular package was put together correctly, with all the parts being the correct ones.

767; There are 2 different BHs for the application, one for the long shaft and one for the short. The problem is that the one for the short shaft is to short! LOL It may be a batch thing but we now have at least 2 with the same exact problem.
