Tons of work and out .020". Hemi starter pocket had to be removed and welded up. Save your time and order a browell or just use an adapter.

I prefer Bobsprofab. I made some small changes for my bell uses the 12 o'clock bolt hole. I trimmed some fat also. Would like to duplicate what I have at local shop. And send program to Bob for reference.

My time and efforts turned out to maybe no be a waste. Been contacted about a production of bells to go from R5 to Reid transmission cases. Use Mopar starter. Next step is a simple flywheel with no adapters.

This will be a game changer as this bell will be cheaper than current adapters.

These should be priced the same as other quick time bells. Nippondenso staters are fine. The flywheel will also be available. I already have 5 spoken for with a small R5 dealer.

Any Reid glide or T400 case will work.

So who's interested? The more I can order the faster and cheaper.

The design guy at quick time says there will be other possibilities with this bell. Basically a lot of options like Ford trans some street rodders are using. Also could be made to bolt to pump bolts on a torqueflite with the bell cut off.

The flywheel should be done the same time as bell shortly after SEMA.
