Re: Bellhousing
For those that are looking for real numbers. The old bellhousing is the standard Lakewood SBC PN 15000 (30.6 lbs). The Mcleod is the new aluminum style with the titanium insert (14.8 lbs). This is only the bellhousing and does not include the motor plate. The weight savings is 15.8 lbs.

Re: Bellhousing
Warning: I just tried to install this bellhousing and it will not fit. I am using a 10" Advanced Clutches single disc clutch and the counter weights hit the inside of the bellhousing badly. What tipped me off was that the bellhousing wouldn't sit flush to the engine block. When I looked into why the problem because clear. This is a nice product but if this won't fit under my clutch assembly it will not fit under a lot of other clutches. I feel Mcleod should give a better product description to bring this to the attention of possible buyers.

Re: Bellhousing
Looking back at your pictures I can see why, the new one really looks like it cones down shallow right where the counter weight sticks past the clutch cover.

Re: Bellhousing
Dave,
This is just a thought, have you contacted Rob yet about this issue? He may have a solution for your current clutch. Good luck Sean

Re: Bellhousing
Did all of the bolt holes line up Orr did you need to re drill some on the lower half?
