I just changed the trans in my Cobra and verified alignment of my Lakewood. It was more than .025" run out. I ended up having custom dowels machined. A pair of dowells with the same offset would not get the job done. It was a major pain.

My buddy that machined the dowels suggested, more than once, to buy a different bellhousing. We finally got .003" runout.

Lakewoods quality control seems pretty poor to me.

I would certainly pay more for a quality bell. If buying a replacement or building a new Cobra, I will consider QT.
