will the 500/600 TKO bolt to the T-5 bell or do I need a differant one?
I hope this isn't a stupid question. Carl

different bolt pattern, and probably register size.

I think the only bell that will accept both patterns is a Quicktime.

I'd be careful. There are at least two bolt patterns for T5's, so who*knows with the TKO.

Doesn't the quick time have a removable plate where the tranny bolts up to support tranny swapping?

Seems like you can't go wrong there. They are also lighter than lakewood, and better bottom clearance.

You mean like an adapter plate? No, the Quicktime bell will have single/dual bolt patterns like an old Toploader bellhousing.

They are great bellhousings.....like you say, they're very light (almost half the weight of a Lakewood), and SFI rated. My customers love them.
