I thought the same thing. There's not much to the design of a bellhousing and/or adapter plate. The key is having accurate dimensions--which you can't get from a picture. I posted up pics of mine. I still might produce them for sale--unless someone beats me to it. It took me 40 hours to develop...

Just a little California Shake-N-Bake for lunch today. Actually it's not that hot, but it was a good shaker. Mark

It shouldn't be too hard to find a local clutch shop that can put any spline you want on a Toyota disc. I had a shop put the spline pattern for a T56 onto a Supra cluch disc for me. I think the last place I checked was Centerforce. On the website there is an application guide chart that...

Yes and Yes. I will weigh the trans tonight.

420# was what I weighed mine at when it came out of the car with all accessories still on. I have a trans I can weigh tonight. Mark

I LOVE IT!!! That's my kind of project. Do you know what it weighs? Mark

Here's what I have so far on mine. It's not really obvious that they are 180 degree headers, but they are. Doing it this way, the shortest I could get the primaries is 36 1/2 inches. The length is not that important to me since I am supercharging so I don't need the scavenging. Plus, I'm...

Removing unsrung weight (suspension, wheels, tires, etc.) will improve handling and ride quality, but it's still weight that has to accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH. If by moving, you mean spinning, then yes. It's a HUGE difference, although it gets complicated because the farther mass is from the...

Those legos are way better than what I was using for my mock up. This preheater tube was way cheaper--but I found that it will bend to a 1/2" tighter radius than the actual mandrel bends I am using, which caused me some problems when I tried to copy the mock up. I had to make...

Wow!! Where exactly was that taking place? I've seen the ones where they are checking emissions on freeway on ramps. They have those on the 210 in the Monrovia/Arcadia area all the time. They weren't stopping people, just checking emissions as you get on the freeway. If you are polluting...

The shaft length is determined by the trans. You have to get a clutch/flywheel that will work with the shaft--not the other way around. You also have to be sure the shaft will reach into the crankshaft enough to engage a pilot bearing. The centering part is not that difficult, and does not...

I got to drive David's car yeserday--it was just around my block, but here's my impression: First, I must say that most of my experience is with heavily modified smaller, lighter, lower horsepower cars (Toyota Corollas 1700-2000 lbs/150-200 HP). I do however have a 1967 Camaro convertable with...

Glendora is east of Pasadena--210 freeway, a few miles east of the 605. It's very close to where I live. Mark

I think people forget what the 'F' in UZ-FE means. Considering the style of head it has, this motor does very well. A 'G' style head on a UZ block would be a serious motor. This hypothetical UZ-GE would me more comparable to an LS-X. Mark

Here is mine. I have bolted it to the engine and the clutch works. It is still a little rough, but it is just the prototype.

That's odd, because I had to take like 3 inches off my bellhousing to get the input shaft to reach the crank (but my trans is from an LT-1 Camaro). Then I welded the bellhousing to the adapter plate. Could you do me a favor and measure how far your input shaft sticks out of your trans? I had...

I'm glad to see someone else working on one of these. I'll have to post up some pics of mine. What are you going to do for a cluch? And have you thought about the input shaft distance to the crank? I found I had to remove quite a bit of the bellhousing to get the input shaft to mate with...

I have been spending all my time working on my car, and have finally had some time to check out and respond to the forum here. So, OK everyone, here's the deal with the bellousing: You may or may not know that I am currently putting a Lexus V8 and SC400 drivetrain into a '75 Corolla. This...

Good eye! BTW--that guy is a little crazy for doing a donut in that car: only the E-brake to stop it, no doors and a seat that's not bolted in. But hey, I probably would do the same thing. Mark

As long as you are going to use it at one location (your shop/garage) and not take it anywhere else, and as long as you have suffient power (50-60A) the Synchrowave 200 is great. It was my second choice. I chose the Dynasty because I don't have enough amperage at my house, and I felt it...
