I installed a Lakewood scattershield bellhousing in my '65 Tiger and will
vouch for the fact they will not fit without quite a bit of beating. After
I had stretched the tunnel to the point where everything cleared, it ended
up with holes in it. I finally cut a section of the tunnel out and
fabricated a new piece to fit.

Don't dispair Brad, at least you looked good. Who knows what with a little
tuning, another 100 cu. in., and a load of nitrous???
