That’s nuts. I got the quicktime bell housing after someone on ls1tech had a piece come through the floor and take off a couple toes. He had the stock bell housing. ---

Geez! This is something that worries me about my setup. Doesn’t matter what your power level is, it can happen to anyone. I need to get a blanket at least or goto an LSx style T56 w/scattershield. ---

I need to get a blanket at least or goto an LSx style T56 w/scattershield. think my mcleod bell was near 600, if possible see if you can run a SFI clutch setup ---

MY problem is the 2 pc rear main seal. Not really much options for an LT1 trans. I need a clutch anyway, so it might be time to goto a standard GM style bellhousing, flywheel, & clutch. Otherwise I’m stuck with the few options out there. ---

I understand that an LSx front shaft can be retrofitted & then I could use an old style GM style bellhousing. Then I could goto a regular flywheel & then my clutch options are virtually endless. I don’t really have any experience with LSx style T56’s. I would imagine I would need a new front bearing plate for my T56? ---
