The bolts are a giant pain in the ***, I don't plan on taking it apart often but I'm always trying to make things easier whenever I can.What exactly are you trying to find out here? Pros and cons? Racing rules?
I’ve got a QuickTime bellhousing to mount up my T56 magnum, has a block saver with bolts.
I will say that the block saver plate made dropping the oil pan with the engine in the car quite a bit harder, because there was no room to do anything other than go straight down with the pan until it was well past the bell.
If those bolts are too much work, use a factory bell housing or just stay with the auto all together.
Completely missed my point. But that's okay. Furthermore, the OP doesn't state intended purpose. Just "more polls". Asks the question of whether to, basically, do it the right way or half *** it. I'm well frickin aware of what a low roller failure can do. But, that comes back to not doing it the right way too.Auto's can take your feet off too. Ever seen a sprag explode? I had it happen but luckily I was barely moving when it happened. It was still quite violent.
May I ask what is that devise hooked to the center link, power steering? Ford?I use Lakewoods and Quicktimes all the time and always use the plate. Just used one of each in the last few weeks.

Power steering cylinder for Non-intergraded power steering used on a lot of Fords and in this case a 67 Vette. Used with a manual box.May I ask what is that devise hooked to the center link, power steering? Ford?
Exactly why I've been running that Lakewood since 1979. Watched my old GF's brother lose his right foot in his '66 GTO that Spring !b bodies are easier that a bodies , and all those bolts just make for a long job . not sure if all the fasteners are required for street uses , but if your running slicks or sticky tires , all the fasteners will keep the broken parts off your feet n legs . to walk is worth every nut n bolt .
That is correct, I'm not sure where the term "block saver" came from. Quick Times just calls it a motor plate which is what I've called it. If anything it should be called a foot saver.THAT IS NOT a "block saver plate." THE PURPOSE of the plate is to CONTAIN the thing if things go N, S, E, W, stern-wards, or bow-wards.
If you ever show up to a track and it is something that requires a shield, a block plate is mandatory.
