Default Lakewood vs. Quicktime Bellhousing
I've been reading favorable things about the Quicktime bellhousing over the Lakewood 15210 so decided to list some facts (at least I think they're facts) and reach out to ask for feedback. The application will be an ERA S/C 427 with a 428 and TKO 600. I've read that the Quicktime frequently bolts on and is within specs from a dial-in perspective compared to the Lakewood, which is frequently a bear. Funny thing is that I've also read exactly the opposite, so not sure about this one. Should be checked one way or the other but would be nice not to have to deal with adjustments. Also, no flange to trim on the Quicktime and it is lighter. However, it is my understanding that with the 428 block, the Quicktime requires a spacer plate between the block and bellhousing, requires a hi-torque starter (more $$), and the front transmission shaft has to be cut off. All things considered I think I'll go with the Lakewood unless there is more to this story...

Regards,

Kevin
