Just a heads up for anybody needing a SFI bellhousing which is required for a manual tranny running 11.49 and quicker......I know....I know.....most tracks aren't calling this but it sounds like mine may start. Ordeded one from D&D performance this morning, currently this is the only SFI option for the 6060 that I know of. They bought the extras from the Cobra Jet cars and only have THREE left. Wanted to get the word out......when there gone there gone..... D&D does not think they will be producing any extras from this point forward.
SFI Bellhousing for Tremec 6060
- Thread starter serickson1
- Start date
Are they really going to check this?
Another place to get them is promotion Powertrain
ProMotion Powertrain FORD/GM Drivetrain Specialist
Its like rollbars and roll cages. To some it's more of a matter of true safety not just playing by the rulebook. I have grown attached to my feet personally.

Could also upgrade to the T56 magnum and use the other bellhousings. Could balance out with selling the 6060 and buying the Magnum that can use the other T56 bellhousings that cost less then half as much. It's a $500 spread you'd be covering and have the shifter actually mount to the trans to stop binding.

Shouldn't get called on this unless your breaking the 9.99 or 135mph barriers. I've got the SFI balancer, Strange axels with C-clip elimanators, driveline loop,rollbar and bellhousing. Flywheel is pretty tuff for tech to check so its last on list.
Well crap. I was gonna wait and do one of these next year when I swap in a built motor. Sounds like there might not be one available next year. Damn. Guess I'll have to go ahead and bite the bullet.
Thanks for the heads up. They have been asking at my track about this. I tell them "yep, its on there"
Wow, didnt know they were that pricey

I dont see a 6060 model in that link
They have removed it from there web page....must have sold the three they had left....called Promotion, they can do it but you have to send them your tranny and it takes at least 3 weeks....both shops mentioned more and more tracks will be calling this..maybe the t-56 option will be a good way to go if it becomes an issue.

Right after I posted last night I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these. I just called them to confirm my order went through, and they said I got the last one. Also told me as well that the manufacturer doesn't have any plans to produce any more because this design is a PITA to fabricate, hence the huge price.
At least SVT forum members got the last three:beer:
I got the 4th one a while back. For those that have a 2.9 Whipple the blower has to come off in order for the tranny to drops a few inches. I also never realised the bell weighed 58 lbs.
Am I reading this wrong or is it just me but you say that the blower has to come off to drop the tranny??
Why doesthe blower have to do anything with the tranny?
i would guess that you have to drop the drivetrain a little to slide the trans out. per Tob's 2.9l install thread, there really isn't any room for the engine to rotate back with that blower on there.
Got mine Saturday (last one). Looks good. Glad I checked the forum that night before I went to bed.
I'm also having a tranny shop change the bell so they can do the shimming, my mechanic isn't comfortable with it.
