Cutting the Lakewood Bellhousing

I am thinking of cutting my bellhousing. The tranny sits in the frame well. I am able to remove the tranny from the bottom with the bellhousing attached.

The ground clearance will give me a maybe a 1 in or so.

Why is it that some people cut the housing?

Also, what do you use to cut the housing.
