I've sold a few friends on those bellhousings.
Fact:
*12lbs lighter than a Lakewood
*Not as "square" and "bulkier" as a Lakewood & allows for easier installation & removal with headers!
*Compatable with todays aftermarket transmissions, no cutting, grinding, drilling & tapping.
*Dead-On-Dowel holes, centered without dowel modification when installed on all the Chevrolet applications!
*The window offers you exposure to fine tuning with the counterweights.
The Negatives:
* You still have to drill a hole at the bottom of the bellhousing to check your "air gap" once installed!
* You'll need to have the bellhousing re-certified sooner with the "window option"
* You'll need to purchase Lakewoods adjustable pivot ball for correct clutch-fork alignment. The one that comes with the QT bellhousing is not adjustable!
