Bellhousing Experience Quicktime vs Lakewood
I want to start a thread that will consolidate the pros and cons of the different available aftermarket Big Block bellhousings specifically the Lakewood and Quicktime units. Brewers is wealth of information on the factory units but doesnt have as much on the aftermarket bellhousings. There a various threads on this site and others where people seem to have problems with both. Many of them do not go into too much detail or mostly relate to header fitment.
Available bellhousings:
Lakewood 15330 (discontinued but still avail new and used)
7.5 depth, 4.807 bearing register (bore diameter)

Lakewood 15335 (appears identical to 15330 but w/larger bearing register )
7.5 depth, 5.125 bearing register (bore diameter)

Quicktime RM-6073 (more expensive and lighter than either the above)
7.4 depth, 5.125 bearing register (bore diameter)

To anyone who has installed either of these in 67 to 69 A-body:
Did you have to clearance the tunnel?
Which Clutch Fork did you use? Did it give trouble?
Which Fork Pivot?
Which Ballstud Bracket?
