Changing to a stock pickup bell for the T-5 means creating a new clutch release bearing.

finishing up the new crossmember to mount the ears of the stock truck bell.  I wished there was a part available for things like this, but it's all made from scratch.  I try to make things removable to give more clearance while removing the engine and trans in one piece.

Thanks Grovedawg, it was great meeting you too.  It is always nice to put a face together with people on the forum.  Not as much progress on the race truck as I would like, but a little.

Check fitting the cab with the 6" wide scatter shield.

Likewise Charlie!  I never would be doing this if it hadn't been for you.  You can ask Kathy if that is a blessing or not.

(you know Kathy enjoys this almost as much as I do. )

Hi Charlie the truck is looking good. I have been fighting with the install of a quicktime bellhousing on my car finally got it sorted this week. I had to rebuy a new flywheel and there were pretty extensive mods to the block and starter definetly not a bolt on kit as it was sold to me. Quicktime was really helpful prompt with advise and tech support, unfortunately the people who sold it to me use a in house flywheel manufacture and they leave a lot to be desired. I ordered the new wheel from the people quicktime recommend and it looks like its going to work.
