TKO mounting holes
Oh damn, before I go and do it, thought I would ask first. The scattershield has 12MM threads and the holes in the TKO are not that big. I am gonna ream them out to fit the BH. This a super bad idea or pretty common. Should i just go to the 12MM hole diameter or go ahead and move to the next size...1/2"? Thanks

I personally wouldn't hesitate to drill it to either size.

What engine, what bellhousing, and which trans? Never had to do this before.

351C, Mcleod scattershield, TKO. Emailed Mcleod and they said the BH was supposed to be 7/16 threads. Nope, 12MM. The 7/16 bolts are real loose in the trans holes so 12mm is not a big jump. |

I'd send the BH back. It ain't what it's supposed to be.

I remember when I first built my cobra I had a Mcleod bellhousing on my 342 I had to drill out the holes on my tremmec 3550 trans. I have since installed a fore fe stroker and my quicktime bellhousing uses the smaller 7/16 bolts?.

AH HA!!!!!! I feel better! It is indeed a TKO but the metal tag says 3550 also. The numbers reveal it is a TKO. Not a 5 or 600 though. Thank you very much for the reply. I no longer feel (as) stupid!

HUH? Like calling a bolt a 7/16 just because a 7/16 wrench fits on it like MANY knuckleheads do?
