I wouldn't use a magneseum bellhousing even if it was given to me and you know the lengths I will take to lose weight. I know the lakewoods are heavy but there are a few other options out there that are lighter. You should be able to get a decent penny for the mag. I would sell it.

Ok you've all convinced me. Not that I had a strong opinion either way.

No magnesium. I'll find a Quicktime or something. :thumbsup:

Now, should I delete this thread? :lol:

No, this is one fiction novel I actually enjoy.

Carry on. :D

You heard that too, huh? :unibrow:

when my mag bellhousing burns down... nice knowing you guys! or when I lose my legs.. ill let you know.

id still rather loose my legs then drive a car with a bell housing as heavy as a Torino...

Matt'

Have you guys ever seen this picture of Don Garlits clutch explosion? It litterally cut the car in half and took off part of Big Daddy's foot in the process. For me running an SFI rated bell housing is a no brainer.

Like my SB2 brother Matt, I will be running the magnesium bell. 2 reasons.

Lakewood/Quicktime doesn't even make a steel bell for my application they said.

Tilton's 7.25" triple disc is designed so everything stays contained in the input shaft upon failure, and they don't explode anyway. This is the second time a Tilton rep has asked me "do you really think the highest levels of Nascar racing would allow this setup to be used if they were exploding?"

I didn't have a good answer.

If it's good enough for 10,000 rpm and Nascar, it must be good enough for my 7,000 rpm and wanna be Nascar.

^^^^^^^^^^ besides that.... You know a good personal injury lawyer!


:rofl:

Plus the mag bell is smaller giving you greater clearance...

Tilton told me the same thing as what Dave listed.

Yes I do know one. But is she any good? :D

Clearance - another good thing, yes.

I have been stewing on this deal for awhile. Glad I finally feel good about it and can move on to other stuff. :lateral:
