Default Which Lakewood bellhousing

I am trying to find the right Lakewood bellhousing for my application. Engine is a '66 sideoiler and the transmission a TR 3550. I finally talked to someone at Lakewood and they gave me the names of co.s that make a spacer or adaptor for PN 15210 (toploader FE). D&D performance gets 159.00 plus shipping but a different input shaft is required. This can't be this difficult can it?
Thanks, John

The Lakewood 15210 is for the FEs. If you buy it new from somewhere like Summit it should come with the block plate and hardware. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
You could pick up one from somewhere like Ebay, right now I think there are a couple listed w/o the block plates, but you can buy the block plates separate also from someone like Summit, 15741.

and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2685956&rd=1,1
I think for the 3550, you need an adapter like a McLeod 8607

I have it behind my Pond aluminum 482" side oiler. Dimensionally your block and mine are identical. Make sure you dial it in during the install, V-E-R-Y important. Lakewood's web site has a good tech pub on the subject; they also have a good description of the bell housing under their "products" section. Mine was dead nutz on so I didn't have to mess with offset dowels and other such aggravations. Here's a pic of the assembly..

I'm running a new TKO600. I had a TR3350 behind the old 428, never missed a beat. It also shifted better than the TKO600 too. I just didn't feel it was strong enough for the Pond 482. The TKO600 and the 3550 look the same.

I went with the 26 spline input shaft for more strength over the Ford 10 spline.

You didn't need a spacer/adaptor?

Only if you're not running the optional short FE input shaft.
