Went to bolt the tranny to the bellhousing last night so I could install the engine in the car and measure the driveshaft length and the large hole in the
Lakewood scattershield is TOO SMALL. I bought the scattershield used from a member here and it fits onto the engine but the input bearing housing on my transmission is too big. I still have the stock aluminum bellhousing so I swapped it and was still able to put it in and get my measurement but what do I do about this problem. Obviously there are different sizes of input bearing retainers/housing but I really need to get this put together to try and race this car for the last race of the season next weekend! Can I machine down the O.D. of the existing housing, machine the I.D. of the scattershield (big job) or just have to find the different housing. Any input (no pun intended) would be greatly appreciated. Kev
