Re: Tremec in a 66 c10
When I bought my Lakewood there wasn't anybody reproducing the stock style aluminum bells. I also couldn't find a GOOD factory one either.
Part of my concern on my setup was the added weight of the T56. Mine is the aftermarket T56 which uses a 1/2" steel plate which bolts to the bellhousing and then the trans bolts to the adapter plate. The extra weight of the trans on the (OLD) alum bell using 4 bolts had me concerned. Stock T56 uses multiple bolts into an alum bell.
The blowproof bells were also developed years ago when the clutch & flywheels were nowhere as strong as they are today. Still, with that said, anything can happen. Like you said, I don't plan on 5000+ rpm launches either.
