Lakewood Bellhousing... WOW that thing is HEAVY!

...Got the lakewood bellhousing in and this thing is a BEAST. I bet it weighs in at about 35#... Man... :shock:

 

I plan to mock up the trans to my 383 stroker tomorrow, and then I'll get a better idea of what will and won't work. Came with nice hardware, but no clutch fork or pivot, and I've still got to decide on a release bearing/ slave cylinder option... Sounds like the way to go might be the stock unit.

Make sure the housing is perfectly centered on the centerline of the crankshaft or you will forever have nagging little clutch chatter or similar problems. Both of the Chevy Lakewood bellhousings I had in the past needed offset dowels to correct input shaft and crankshaft misalignments. Maybe they corrected this problem with the more recently produced housings, but there is a reason why these offset dowels are available. :roll:
