The Clutch-flite (Chrysler) and Turbo-flite (GM) conversions done by B&M, Fairbanks,Hydro-Motive and C&O helped smaller cu in drag cars to launch like a stick and avoid a bog of the line. Hi stall converters were the next step and doomed the xx-flites. Way back my friend and his partners had an Anglia with a small hilborn injected Hemi. It was uncontrollable with a stick trany ( given the name "The HOP Toad") they tried a torqueFlite and had a serious bog off the line. They went to a B&M Clutch-Flite trans and had did fairly good after that in the SoCal Valley area.
Some Clutch-Flites used the stock bellhousing and just modified it, others removed the bellhousing, used a thick front block off plate/pump mount and bolted a scattershield to it.
