    Bellhousing kit for a 428 to Tremec 3550

     



    As there are a few manufacturers of bellhousings, adapter kits etc, What is the best to use to matchup a 70 428 to a manual Tremec 3550?

    Thanks. Drop me a note if you remember. I look at all these "self proclaimed great" kits and they all sound like they work. Problem is it usually takes two weeks to get and I want to make sure I order the right one and a good unit.

    I'd also contact Mike Forte. He sells the new Quicktime bells and others and is very knowledgeable. He can hook you up with everything, one stop shopping.

    If you don't have the Tremec yet, there's some places selling the TKO 600 for under $2k!!!! Not a bad price, and a dang good transmission~!

    Thanks guys for your help. I will contact quicktime tomorrow. Not that it matters but did you know that they started making light poles. Makes sense since they are all cast aluminum bases anyway. Thanks again.

    Keislerauto.com is another good source for trannys, clutches, and bellhousings, might want to check it out too.

    No problem Dave glad to help. I'm still working on getting you those other pics too!

    73....give Mike Forte a call to compare his prices. I've found some company's charge more to buy direct sometimes. Plus he's a good brain to pick for tech Q's.
