Hi

Right now I only have one facebook link where you see the pic of tranny : https://www.facebook.com/premiumparts/ph...e=3&theater
I may take more pics later today.
Yes the brand was JW and here is part codes if you are interested. Those are the parts for TH350 tranny what we used later.
1. JWP-92455-A J W Performance 92455-A "Ultra-Bell" TH400/350 to SB Chrysler
2. JWP-93005-130 J W Performance 93005-130 Chevrolet - 327-427 Internal Balance 130 Tooth MOPAR Ring Gear

George, that bell bolts to a LA block. Not a R5. It has enough material to be drilled to fit but still attaches via the pump bolts. It also fits gm trans.

Do you have picture of the R5 JW to 904 bell you had made? By looking at your picks one would assume you are using an adapter plate.

Realizing we have a slight language barrier. I have to ask. Do you understand the topic?

My bells will attach R5 to Reid case flange. No adapters or spacers.

Here is the new QuickTime R5 to Reid bell

Finished parts will be here Friday February 20th. More pics to come.

Mocking up and trial fitting bell and block plate. Camshaft cover bolts hit block plate.... Corrected

Leon im interested in a kit. Bell and flex plate. How much for both? And availability?

Had some concerns yesterday with flexplate spacing and starter. I left QuickTime a message and was ready to bite ears off. Well, Ross is very sharp, called me this AM. He listed off part numbers and a quick solution. Parts are on the way.

Price $1,000 for kit to attach Dodge R5 to Reid and BTE two price cases.

QuickTime bells go for $750 for shelf stock cases. This is custom no extra charge from me.

Flexplates for gm conversions sell for $350 and up.

Do the math whole kit $1,000. Loosing my rear but, keeping my word affordable.

Leon,

I congratulate you on sticking it out through thick and thin. Your net result is something to truly be proud of. Nice job.

How much does the bell weigh?

Regards,
Mike

Have not weighed yet. Box says QuickTime lightweight bell housing. LOL. It is 3/16" steel with a block plate like typical clutch cans. 360° protection. It's lighter than my adapter and JW bell by a long shot.

I will weigh and let you guys know. Thanks for asking and complimenting my work, Mike.

Leon is there a hole in the block plate to access the convertor bolts? Also is there any reason the block plate has to be there? Other than to meet sfi cert. My car wont need sfi cert so could i do away with the block plate all together?

Yes, there are two holes for converter bolt access. One just above oil pan rail near starter pocket. Then another at 6 O'clock position where you can tighten up while accessing the but through access/inspection slot in bell.

The block plate is there to protect block and locate starter. You could do away with it and have to alter your starter and converter spacing. The block plate also has a hole off each side for mounting bracket to your frame rails. This is used in place of a midplate.

Once I have everything in my car you guys can see everything has a purpose. OEM uses a converter sheild to keep dirt out. This does that and allows protection from converter explosions. Never had this happen personally. All of the converter/transmission professionals I have spoke with are in favor of the plate. I too had thought of doing away with it until they encouraged me not too.

Hmm thats what i though, about locating the starter. My car doesn't have a mid plate. Keep me up to date about when you get it all soughted mate. Im keen for a kit.

Glad to see it coming together, sad you're not doing a 904 version.

Keep up the good work

1.705" (GM) torque converter pilot made to flexplate.

At Indy show. Center aisle two rows up from Indy cyl heads booth. Come by check it out in person

Should go in car this weekend. Waiting on transmission shop. Trying the shops work for those who may want a complete package.

OK everything is in car. Road tested with no issues at all.

Previously with adapter plate, JW bell, stock case, and safety sheild there were always issues. Like put car on lift work under it and get all the styling gel you need, simple comb and your ready to go out to the cruise-ins. The smell of hot transmission fluid after a run or when at stop lights.

Mindful that I just went up the road a couple miles acting like a complete nutt. Ran car on lift for over an hour. Transbraked for a good bit at full throttle. The transmission was good and warm. I have done everything but make a full boogy pass at the drag strip. Can't wait, to make a bottle hit.

Everything has worked great.

Not sure what was wrong with your previous setup, but my trans didn't leak at all.
