I would like to return it to a factory bellhousing. Would this be a worthy piece or can you guys suggest an alternative. Sorry for the fat fingers on the phone. ‘67

Ha ha...your car looks like a 1967 model!

That was quick. More like a ‘67

Brewers or Passon should have a reproduction bellhousing if you choose to go that route.

The L60’s will fit. Just need to order some Coker Magnums. Have F70 to match for the front.

I value my right leg and that would be going nowhere!

A good flywheel would be part of it.

I love that new style distributor and the clear wheel!

There's a reason it has a Lakewood scattersheild. Don't replace it. It won't devalue the car. Just buy a factory one and include it in the sale if you sell it.

Powder coated mine.

Installed mine in 1979 after my then GF's Brother lost his right foot above the ankle after exploding his '66 GTO.

I would never replace a scattershield with something less safe. If you have ever seen a flywheel explode, you wouldnt either. I have. Thankfully it wasn't mine.

I had a 727 lose a sprag and grenade on the line once. It had a TCI shield which I’m sure did save my foot. Thanks for the advice guys.
