200-4R Behind a 340 and Reid Bellhousing Build
I'll see if I can come up with a list. It's not going to be cheap I can tell you that! Lol
Yep I recall seeing that thread. Hated seeing the trouble you had but at least you're getting it back together soon. I really thought about using the plate but I really should have an SFI bell running at the track. So instead of using a blanket or shield, I opted to cut the factory bell and use the Reid bell since I needed to spend the money for a shield one way or another and I know the Reid will fit. That made the decision easy for me.
A local guy I know built the trans and cut the bell off with a sawzall and angle grinder. He did a pretty dang good job of it. You cut until the adapter ring can be bolted to the pump housing and you're left with a small gap. Extreme Automatics uses a mill and they cut theirs with a .010 gap remaining between the housing and ring.
Here's what it started as.
I actually bought 3 at the same time so I'll have a backup. These cores are getting hard to find and transmission shops typically will charge a $200 core fee on a built unit. Used ones at swap meets they go for $100 as cores.
Bought a PPP shifter for this setup
