Re: Tremec in a 66 c10

Is there any reason why you wouldn't just use the Lakewood steel bell housing? Explosion proof is a nice way of saving toes and testicles don't you think?

Yeah i guess. I haven't totally ruled out a blowproof bell yet. I know that things can go wrong, but i dont intend power shifting or doing any high rpm clutch drops. If aluminum or cast bells are so dangerous why do they make them? There is always a chance I could roll over too but im not goung to go and put a rollcage in every vehicle I own either. I know what you mean though it would suck if a flywheel did explode. I am going to go with a billet steel flywheel.
