As Rick states in #1, that was my first thought and i am surprised it was not brought up before.

I just installed an SFI quicktime bellhousing and it is very thick and not all that light. It took me quite a while to hack through the metal to modify it for the Kirkham Clutch arm. i will have no worries about running this housing on my 527FE, especially since i am using an SFI approved flywheel, as should be.
I did note that the bolts that came with my quicktime housing were too long for the block, so i will be replacing them with the correct length units. Perhaps this person had the same issue with his bolts and used a spacer or something along those lines, which possibly contributed to why the threads pulled out.
