Marc,
We decided against using the RX8 bellhousing. milo

-- 
Which are you using? I have the 20B and 13REW TT AT bellhousings that
use the reduction starter driver
Marc.



Marc,
We have an RX7 AT bellhousing we are using for mockup purposes. Do not
know yet what we will use for testing? Milo

The trouble with Bell Housings are motor mounts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBINATION PSRU ADAPTER PLATE AND MOTOR MOUNT. Saves the weight and
cost of a Schertz beam (10 pounds) and is lighter (6 pounds) than Tracy
Crook's adapter plate (7.5 pounds) [or bell housing]. The loads on the
spacers [or bell housings] are reduced greatly as they no longer
transmit prop torque loads to the motor mounts located on an oil pan
spacer plate (another 8 pounds) if used. Think about it. Prop torque is
2.85 times higher than engine torque due to the gear box reduction.
Engine torque on a Mazda rarely exceeds 200 foot pounds even with a
p-port or turbo. Prop torque on the other hand is 567 foot pounds due to
the gearing. This torque is reacted directly by this motor plate. There
fore loads on the spacer [or bell housing]  and bolts is greatly reduced
with less chance of misalignment.
