More so if you have a after market pressure plate. I'm running a 10.5-1 454, Lakewood blow proof, RAM 11' 6 fingered brass puck clutch disk (unsprung) and matching RAM pressure plate (3400lbs), against a Super T-10. So far, lots of full thottle clutch dumps and shifts...ahem, I keep several U-joints in the glove box along with straps and bolts.....   ;)   Nick  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of 396guy Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 7:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Bellhousings ????? Definitely go with the Lakewood if you're turning any rpm's and shifting hard at all.  As you said, the engine is out and it's an easy swap right now.

I am wondering how many of you have 500 HP+ big block 4 speed combos and are running a stock aluminum bellhousing? Should I bite the bullet and spend the $200 for a Lakewood blowproof bellhousing? The motor is out and now is the time to do it, if I'm going to and I was wondering what the consensus was? And also wondering if anybody has a used one for sale AND if they bolt up without any modifications? Thanks for any input! Josh Gin (NoNeck) Visit my Chevelle website www.NoNecksChevelle.com
