Tremec swap question

Javi · Jul 30, 2010

when i first started to gather parts for my tremec swap in my 94gt, i purchased a fox bell-fork, but i
found a great deal on a SFI Lakewood bell.

My question is: Can i still use the fox fork or do i have to get a specific fork for the Lakewood bell?

It will work. They offer extended forks but they are quite pricey. The stock Fox will work fine.

Just what i wanted to hear.
Thanks Mike.

Javi. do you have shorties or LT headers... lemme know how the lakewood bell clears for ya. I really need to get a non-stock bellhousing

I have MAC Longtubes,
i talked to the guy who is rebuilding my transmission
he said that Mcleod and Lakewood are similar, he ran into some clearance issues when he had the Lakewood, he had to chop some of the bell to clear his headers over the passenger side, he also mentioned that the Mcleod-Lakewood are kinda bulky compared to the Quicktime..
He reccomended me to get the Quick time, but geez $430.00+ for the bellhousing is kinda steep.

I got your reply to my pm, the only reason why i was about to get the Lakewood is because is $200 brand new in box
i think im gonna get the Quicktime in a few weeks, ill let you know if i have some clearance issues.
