I have a 460 stock engine with a TKO-600 and a Lakewood bellhousing. I took the junk Lakewood to a machine shop. The tranny hole was too big and was out-of-round. I found 2 places in the hole that huge dips. To get it to work I had to weld up the jagged edged hole and re-cut it to proper dimensions to fit the tranny on a mill. That was a trick.

I would N-E-V-E-R buy a Lakewood housing for anything. That housing was absolute junk before I fixed it. I'd take my chances with something else any day.
