Scatter shield for big block/TKX 143T flywheel

[andrewwoz]

Is the only option for a scatter shield on a big block with a TKX/TKO the Quicktime RM-6074 for the 130T flywheel? I already have a good 143T flywheel and have read about the mini starter issues with a 130T.

Have you priced one lately?
Then other options if found will be welcomed IMO.

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.

I’m familiar with the aluminum one but would prefer steel. Modding the Lakewood is interesting, it is an a833 bell correct? I was under the impression that the input shafts were different lengths.

Yes it’s an old 833 bell housing.

So from what I have seen online the Ford TKX input shaft length to the face of the case is 7.21", A833 is 8.625", is this what you have also found? If so wont the TKX end up too far outboard?

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.

That's great to know, I'll be following along on your build thread for more progress pics, I might just need to go this route.

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 nuts if or when I have to dig back into it ( hopefully never)
