Good point Mr.Fixit
I cut the flange off of the bottom of my Lakewood bellhousing since it hung down about 1" to 1 1/2" lower than the bottom of the bellhousing itself. I was told that one Cobra owner with a Lakewood bellhousing didn't remove that flange and hit a man hole. Not nice. By the way, I don't have a problem with my
oil pan rubbing. I used one from Ford Motorsport.
