Tremec Alum Bellhousing

[Rusman]

This is the standard aluminum bellhousing that comes with the Tremec 3550/TKO transmission. It can be yours for the low, low price of $75! I'll consider delivering it or meeting you half way, but shipping is not included.

Uh, I think I might need that to replace the unit I stole from Shane, but $$$ a bit tight right now...

Any options :D?

Nay!

Uhm, you could try cardboard! Hehe.
You have anything I might need? Perhaps we could trade.

Nay, I've got a lakewood and a factory aluminum here at the house... I'm up in the air as to which one I'm going to run...

care to influence my decision?

well, I've got a TKO for the new ride... I've got a steel flywheel, so the only thing I'd be worrying about would be a pressure plate explosion (or disk) which isn't any laughing matter, but I'm not building a drag racer...

BUT, I'm building a turbocharged setup, so I don't have to worry about header clearance... I guess the only reasons I wouldn't go w/ the steel bell would be having to index it (no real biggie w/ the motor out) and the weight penalty... versus tootsie (and car!) protection... you don't hear about clutch explosions that much these days, but still.. hmm..

I dunno what I need Chris, besides more power :).

Hrm, how about this:
I give you the bell, and you install the following free of charge, with my supervision:

Tremec 3550
Aluminum Flywheel
SPEC Clutch and Pressure Plate
BBK Longtube Headers
BBK Catalytic H-Pipe
Romac Balancer


How's that sound? I think it's one hell of a deal!
:razz: :D

Ok, maybe it is a little over the top.

I'll install the balancer. You can do the rest. :D

Seriously, I don't know what I need/want right now so it's difficult to trade something if one party doesn't know what the hell they want ;).

[Forrest]

Nay,

yeah, that's kinda what I'm thinkin'... I've got it, I've got the room, I should have the potential to make some power, why not?

plus, I don't have the block seperator plate for a T5/Tremec! :p

I wish you were up here right now... I'm out back re-doing the front suspenion on Brittani's Fairmont... it all started because the steering rack wouldn't assist at idle (or low engine speed when cold) on right turns untill you had the wheels about halfway through the turn... and THEN it would assist (like a "dead spot" in the rack or something???) and the car would, of course, dart to the right due to the amount of effort you were exerting on the steering wheel... no big deal for a "car guy" (hell, I've been driving my Cummins w/ NO assist (and the entire system still connected and full of fluid (bad box)) for like 4 months now! arms are gettin' bigger! I can "one hand" it anywhere but parking!) but I don't want Brittani in an unsafe car... so I pulled the rack out and was like "hmm... those control arms are a little easier to get to now... might as well go ahead and replace them! (I've got a set of the FMS replacement front control arms and a pair of new struts I want to put on the car just for safety's sake (see above)

so now I've got the passenger side completely apart, and I'm about to start re-assembly! wish me luck... oh yeah, this is all w/ hand tools BTW! I had planned on buying an impact before I started on this job, but "see above"! toldja the arms were getting stronger! LOL!

ok, caffeine wearing off... must push on while sun is down...

anyhow, wish you were here to help... I'd throw you the factory bell as payment...
