Thanks Rick for your view--


In the area of bell housings for a Cobra replica( or any STREET car) you probably don't need a bell housing with a PRETTY sticker> >>>>>If you do, there is a multitude of other SFI specs that you also will need to meet, which includes roll cages, harness, head rests,harmonic balancers, drive shaft shields, fuel systems, driver suits, helmuts, gloves, etc, etc---all of which will need PRETTY stickers with a current period date---

Now---for bell housings--(and assuming that you have a good clutch) you won't need a SFI one altho that is a good place to start----any of the Quick time, Lakewood,McLeod, etc that fits your block/trans combo and properly installed will fit you needs and safely contain any parts that might break.

As far as ground clearance---It used to be accepted by NHRA to trim the bottom of the housing for clearance by cutting off the edge up to the radius of the section between the bottom four holes, eliminating the center two holes .

And of course the manufacture says this will void the WARRANTEE---but it didn't void the acceptance of the racing groups----NHRA, UDRA, ETC

and it is important to use the block plate and be bolted between thethe bolts into the block to give more upper strength to the assy.
