I've owned 3 Quicktime bellhousings personally....the weight is pretty accurate. The block plate adds weight, along with the huge bag of adapter rings, ball stud pivot, L-bracket pivot, bolts, etc. I've also had a couple of customers on the FE forum weigh their Quicktimes and compare them to the Lakewood weights. Again, the weights are pretty accurate.

I'm not starting this argument again...

However, I will say that there's no comparison since most guys have to cut the bottoms off the Lakewoods anyway (which would NOT make them a safety bellhousing anymore, correct?)....so I'd rather have the bellhousing that weighs almost half, is a smaller footprint, comes with its own L-bracket and pivot (unless they've changed in the past several years, the big block Lakewoods don't include a passenger side pivot option) and in most cases doesn't involve a battle to get them aligned.

And yes, I figured I should get some advertising out of all this....
