I'm a dealer for McLeod and can usually beat anyone's prices. Get your part number and pm it to me. Same for Edelbrock, Comp, JE.

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.

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.

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.

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

I ran into the same problem with a Quicktime and one of Rob's clutches. I ended up installing a 1/4" spacer plate between the bell and the plate (QuickTime RM-6013). Then I had to readjust the fork and throwout bearing clearances. After all the juggling it worked.

The quick time I use has a thicker block saver, so maybe that is worth a try. It is aluminum. I can fit that clutch and a dual 7. I have put a billet clutch in with the spacer. You need to make sure to realign everything and check your crossmember mount and even driveshaft length if you were close.

This item is all set I'm on to other things now, I work quickly. I ended up using a Quciktime 1/4" thick steel midplate and adjusted the ball stud height to make up for the 1/4" extra depth.

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