Length differ. for a pg with ultrabell-stock chevy pg - 05/08/10 03:18 PM

Anyone know if a pg will be longer or shorter compared to a stock chevy pg when you have a mopar Ultra Bell bolted to a pg ?

I could measure, but would be happy if I got the specific change already.

working on a midplate for my new chassi.

Hi Fred !

Thanks, that was exactly wath I was hoping for.
Jerry Haas had a 1/4" thick alum. midplate in there, I was thinking a 3mm SS steel plate, as my converter is built for that.
I am going out for a party now, but will pm you about the thickness tomorrow.

I use the ATI 1/2 inch adapter plate with an ultra bell. I wish to respectfully disagree with using the plate as a limiter. My plate cracked very dramatically from the shearing force of fore/aft movement. I was able to repair it,and have had no more issues once I installed limiters.

RIP

I won�t have any threads in the plate, as the ultrabell is made for Mopar BB, I got the pg to mopar bell.

Some pics from the hopefully last paper template( this is number 4).

Here�s the midplate that came with the car for chevy

Well, the bell needs to have the ear at the starter massaged maybe an 1/2" or so to fit there.
I know the bell is SFI, but I can�t see myself cutting and welding in this chassi, if I have other options. The Sfi rating is soon outdated, and I will not send it back to JW. Nothing is ever simpel.

Two limiters, which I will keep for future chevy owners and make new ones for mopar bellhousing placement.
