I bought a cheap spool of vacuum hose and connected it to a running car, through my garage window and tested the full operation of everything on my bench.
Do you like shifting or not? That is the big question. I went with a TKX behind my 470 with TFS heads as my last build had a 727 with a loose converter (turbo Action J) I prefer the feel of a locked up clutch over a slipping converter around town. The Silver Sport TKX needs no floor mods other...
When I saw them polished on another car, I liked the shape and thought they would look good color matched to the engine, I’m happy with the results. Same with the color, I wanted a turquoise like a 66 383 would have been but changed it up a little with a different shade
Waiting on my bellhousing at the Powder coater, found a molded hose for my breather, and a sneak peek at my TKX. Got word from Strange that my Dana 60 will be ready to pick up next week..
Lakewood also makes a cast aluminum bell housing for the TKX behind
honestly I didn’t measure it, I took it to my friend, Ted at Opel engineering and he set it up on his mill and bored it for me. He did say the original bore was not very round, it is now…. As for machining the bearing retainer...
I’ll mock up the bell housing with the trans and no clutch and get some photos this week. I have to weld in weld nuts for the trans to bell housing bolts, while I'm at it I’m going to add weld nuts for the starter mount and bell housing to block saver bolts as well so I don’t have to deal with...
The QuickTime Bellhousing for a big block to a TKX is 7.270” face to face, the Lakewood is 7.500” and the roller throw out bearing Silver Sport supplies mounts in the torque converter pocket in the crankshaft so it sits further back in relation to the crankshaft.
Mounted my bellhousing to check runout and my go-no go gauge fit right in! I’d rather be luck than good. Next is to weld in the weld nuts for the TKX bolt pattern, starter bolts, and the block plate holes so I don’t have to fight the nuts if I have to disassemble it in the future
Silver Sport makes a cast aluminum one, I’m in the process of modifying a Lakewood scatter shield to fit, bored the register out to fit, and drilled the mounting holes, the lower bolt on the drivers side is tricky as it hits right on the radius where it starts to “bell” towards the block.
