Default t56 magnum quicktime bellhousing

Hi there, I've got a 1977 Chevy C10 project that is eventually going to get turboed and I'm putting a T56 magnum behind it, I bought the tranny with no bellhousing and I'm wondering if an aluminum bellhousing would fail from too much power or clutch failure would be my only concern. Thanks guys.

Scatter shields are always a good idea. If by chance, you do have a clutch failure it will be contained and not cause further damage to the car or your feet. It's like having seat belts or insurance. They are there "just in case". Starting out with nothing, the QuickTime is what I would go with.

Thanks for your input, It was more or less what I was thinking.

got my quicktime bellhousing in last week. Fits nice to the transmission and it's a very beefy piece!

McLeod just came out with an SFi alum bellhousing...

The Quicktime is a very nice unit though and is proven. The factory alum Tremec bh is not going to provide any protection at all. Even though clutch failures are rare.... The extra $350 for an SFi rated one should be thought of how much you actually value your foot/leg and maybe even life.

My stock bell housing broke off one of the bolt tabs. Found it when we installed the Quicktime. I ordered mine with the inspection port which really is a waste of money.
