So it appears that Quicktime does NOT make a SFI "Certified" bellhousing that is NHRA legal for a FE-Toploader application, correct? On my 10.0 ET, 132mph 428 powered Fairmont, having a part that supposedly "passed all SFI testing" without the required dated SFI certified 6-1 sticker really in no "better" in the eyes of a Tech inspector than a stock bellhousing. To me, it appears that Lakewood is the only scattershield that is currently legal to use at a NHRA sanctioned drag strip, behind a Ford FE engine. If Quicktime ever decided to market a real SFI certified bellhousing, that was considerably lighter than the Lakewood, I would imagine that virtually every FE Stock and Super Stock racer would buy one, not to mention all the FE bracket racers and street/strip guys. I think that Quicktime is underestimating the need for such a piece. At least 5 9 or low 10 second FE 4 speed cars competed at our local track last year, and a couple more are under construction. All with Jerico DR4 transmissions, which work with the Lakewood bellhousing.
