I run Kook's, but they are not cheap... but fit perfect. If you are buying the parts new, look into a Quicktime bellhousing. They are totaly different that Lakewood, and McLeod, and give you a lot or room depending on what clutch you are running though. My next bell will be a Quicktime for sure! You can call Lakewood and ask about what headers fit and what ones don't... they may be of some help? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FORDNUT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2348</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,9,18,1,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I Was running the lakewood with bbk's long tube's without any fitting problems.. <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/jays65/thanks018.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/jays65/thanks019.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br />This is a tko600 tho...<br /> <br /> <small>[ October 18, 2008, 01:37 AM: Message edited by: FORDNUT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Notch1320</b> <br /><small>Member # 2647</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,9,18,10,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I am pretty sure that is a McLeod bellhousing. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FORDNUT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2348</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,9,18,11,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Notch1320:<br /><strong> I am pretty sure that is a McLeod bellhousing. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">you know what you might be right,now im gona have to go check.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Notch1320</b> <br /><small>Member # 2647</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,9,18,15,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> McLeod's are all zink plated like that, and Lakewoods are usually red.
