Lets see. The right has a Titanium plate, the left has a steel plate which also is larger. Taking in to account engine torque.....perfect!!
The right one dose act like it is full of lead though..HAHA!

Thanks guys, I am hoping for a short recovery. The doctor said I heal well.

The bell housing was built in the 80's by my friend Stan. His car was what got me interested in slant 6 racing. Well in 2011 I was able to buy the car.

I decided that I wanted to put it on the street as a slant 6 four speed the way I had known the car. I was able to get the bell housing back from another slant racer. So it was just a matter of bolting it back in place.

I plan to rewire the car in the spring. Heat, a/c, aluminum motor and a lowered suspension to follow that. So with all this and the race car I think I am booked up for the next 10 years.

Hope you heal up quickly, Will! Sounds like great projects, no matter how long they take. Stan's car was an inspiration to me too, as you have been as well!
