OK, I am ready to drop the motor in my fastback.  It's a 351W with a lakewood bell housing. I seem to remember that on horsepower TV, they had to notch the bellhousing in order for the clutch rod to clear. Anybody out there that knows for sure? Thanks. Ernie------------------

No, you do not have to make any modifications to the bell housing at all. The back of the block is the same on all SBF's. The guys on HPTV butchered up that car. The notched the bell housing for exhuast clearance with the mickey mouse shorty headers.
