Lakewood Bellhousing not SFI??

I don’t know what the part number indicates.  My understanding is that Lakewood made black bells and red ones, the red ones come with SFI stickers and the black ones do not.  Other than being different colors they are identical.  At this point it is a non-issue though, as none of the old Lakewood housings are SFI legal at this point.  I was told the flange that bolts to the engine isn’t thick enough to pass the current tech requirements.  Lakewood did also make 3 different bells that I’m aware of, 2 are 8” deep and primarily are for AMC-T-10 application, one with and one without the “mouse ears” on the pad where the transmission bolts to.  The mouse ears give you a spot to bolt different transmissions to, like a Chrysler A-833, jerico, or G-Force.  They also made a 6.5” or so deep unit that I believe was primarily for Jeep T-18 guys, but will also accept a ford T-5 among others.  If you need the SFI approval I think the QuickTime 6.5” Chevy housing is the only off the shelf option.  There was rumors at one point that QuickTime was gonna make an 8” offering but I don’t know if it happened.  Browell will also make you a custom unit for $2000+.  Also, I have been racing my AMX with an old 8” Lakewood bell for a couple of years now and have never been bothered for having the non-SFI bell, they just ask the brand while getting teched.  Hope this helps, Andy

If your using a T-10, it sounds like you got the wrong bell.

15411 is the part number for a Lakewood AMC red bellhousing with a GM bolt pattern and depth.  Made to accommodate Muncie and T-10 transmissions. 6.45" depth and a 4.684" bearing retainer diameter.
