J.W. 727 sfi Bellhousing

Anyone here use the J.W. 727 SFI Ultra-Bell housing?

Wondering is it is worth the effort and $$

IMO yes

I'm still having issues with starter engagement.
Starter has to spin once before it engages the 2nd time.
Going to try and shim it out some.
The nose of the starter was tight going in to the Jw bell starter hole.

big block or small block ?
i am trying to find an affordable [to me] used big block unit.

I am looking for the same, with the US/Canuck exchange rate, its a pretty hefty price. If I can't find one, I'm working on a jig to aid in welding on a b/rb bellhousing onto a 46rh, I don't require the SFI rating for my project.

It has been done.

haha, Thats great, the splice line is exactly where I marked it to be on my trans....I was wondering about the weldability of the housing, sometimes cast aluminum doesn't well to well. Any info on how that one worked out?

When we bought the Daytona a trans shield wouldn't fit the tunnel without some major work. We installed the JW bell and it worked perfect! We have since changed to a Glide so I have the bell for sale (haven't advertised it yet). I think there is one more season on the cert (I will have to check)

There was a guy that started doing this in the northwest back in the early 90’s, somewhere around Seattle.

Zero issues with the stock 1965 727 case. 600 passes. Car runs 9.0-9.1@3350lbs
