Scattershield for SBF / Toploader
Got a question about scattershields and bellhousings in general, and then specifically for the Ford Windsor and Toploader application.
Firstly, what I have to select from of course are:
• the standard aluminium alloy bellhousing, which would be quite adequate for my application
• a QuickTime RM-6063 which includes the block plate, Toploader mounting screws, scattershield mounting screws, as well as some little brackets and screws, and what looks like some alignment rings or spacers
• a Lakewood 15200 scattershield, and it doesn't include anything else.
The QT is significantly more expensive than the Lakewood, but obviously it does include a lot more bits.
It's the block plate (sandwich plate?) that I'm concerned a little about if I went with either the standard bellhousing or the Lakewood scattershield. This plate is essential, I assume? It shields the front lower area of the bellhousing / scattershield? I haven't worked with an SBF previously, hence the questions.
At a quick look, I can't find a block plate specifically for the Lakewood or the standard bellhousing.
I was considering the cheaper (than QT) alternatives, but once I have bought the HT screws, block plate, and any other bits, maybe I should just source a QuickTime scattershield?
Am I missing anything? Opinions appreciated.
Cheers,
Glen

My Lakewood bell housing came with the block plate and all the hardware minus the trans bolts.

The QuickTime will be more dimensionally true than the Lakewood. Go figure now that both are owned by the same company! We have not had a QuickTime that required adjustment to be within tolerances. Perhaps we are just lucky but we do believe the QuickTime is an easier installation.

I bit the bullet, paid the extra, and the QT is on its way.

You won't be sorry with the Quicktime as it is a really nice bellhousing. Trial fit your starter in the block plate hole before you install, as some have had to be opened up for the starter to fit and it is difficult to do once installed.
