Anyone use the Quicktime RM 6036 Bellhousing for their swap?
This is a safety bellhousing that allows a Muncie/TKO style trans to bolt to an LS. But, is it worth the $600 price tag? An aluminum-titanium one can be had for about $250, but I like the idea of the safety bellhousing design like the Quicktime version. Thoughts?

Re: Anyone use the Quicktime RM 6036 Bellhousing for their swap?
I have a steel bell housing on my ls2/ls3 camaro . Its one I had on the first gen . 383 . It bolted up fine . I did have to get the Mcloud flywheel to make it work . I am using one of auto gears m23 super muncie on it . The flywheel has a rating SFI 1.1 rating billet steel .
Is it worth it . Yes . I turn my 600hp motor 7000 when shifting and never let up on the gas . Just think if the clutch or flywheel came apart and what it could do to your legs . A alum one will not contain it . Also what it could do to your car or truck and the cost it would take to fix it . So in my mind ,yes it does cost up front but is a good insurance policy . If you not planing on any major spirited driving then the alum one is fine . At the very lease get a steel billet flywheel instead of a cast iron one . Cast ones will come apart . |

A buddy of mine has a darge 340 and is using a quicktime bell and putting a a t56 from a viper behind it..I was helping him put it together and we were having trouble getting it on the dowels pins..made sure 3-4 times the clutch was centered but the dowels were half a hole off..he got to internet reading and it said to use offset dowel pins to make it work..then he found in the directions where it said to drill out the bolt and dowel pin holes, install longer dowels in engine, center the trans and weld heavy washers on bellhousing when you have it lined up..I never heard of such but it had instructions telling to do this.

I've never used a quicktime myself but when he told me what it said I couldn't believe it..

WELD-ON DOWEL LOCATING KIT Designed for use on race cars that are frequently dis-assembled, this kit eliminates the need to “dial- in” the bellhousing after each removal. Ford/Mopar engines with .500” dowel holes use #15980. GM engines with .625”dowel holes use #15981. NOTE: Welding is required to use this kit |

That sounds pretty close to what he was saying..we measured runout and it was more than any of the offset dowels they had available...it was around .170 off center..after I left his shop was when he found the dowel relocating stuff..pretty crazy to have to do all that when these bells cost that much..but id still want the steel for safety

I used the 6036, I'm pretty sure (that's what my notes said I was going to buy, at least). No complaints from me!
