Did you need to do anything to make the QuickTime work with the Soft Lok clutch? I currently use a Lakewood scattershield behind my FE, along with aluminum184 tooth flywheel,a 10 1/2" single disc Soft Lok, and Jerico DR4, and mechanical clutch linkage. I wanted to get a QuickTime housing, with a window, but most people that I have talked to said that the QuickTime, for whatever reason, was designed to be used with a shorter height diaghpram clutch assembly, and that if a Long style clutch (like a Soft Lok), was installed, they had to use 2 or 3 block plates, and/or modify the front bearing retainer to provide adequate throw out bearing set back to allow the clutch fork to have sufficent room and travel when using a Long style clutch. Considering that every FE powered manual transmission Ford car made came with a Long style clutch, it is beyond me that QuickTime chose to design the Fe bellhousing to not work with a Long. And also, it seems that most QuickTime housings are NOT SFI certified, Although they claim that all of their housings "have passed all SFI testing", the majority are not certified, and do not have the silver SFI spec/dated sticker. You need to specify that you want aSFI certified housing, which will have the letters "SFI" following the part number. Kinda decieving if you ask me.
