Are 6 cyl half trimatic bellhousings upto big hp?
i have my tri matic in a trans shop, while its there i am either going to change to a half bellhousing or get a convertor with nuts attached, previously i had a full bellhousing with a hole cut in the bottom to do the nuts up, then you have to rotate the fly wheel again to torque the bolts before, i have no access to the front crank bolt without pulling out all the fans, radiator & crap.
options are go to a half bellhousing, get a convertor with attached nuts and use standard high tensile bolts.
or
get a half bellhousing and keep the ARP torque convertor bolts and nuts.
its a supercharged six.
i guess what i need to know is do half housings brake easy or do torque convertor bolts shear off easy when you have extra torque and power.
bellhousings
hey mate i just use a screw driver or pry bar to rotate the motor. can be abit of a pain but easy to do and cheaper than replacing the bellhousing. just a thought
cheers

there is nowhere to lever it
there is nowhere to lever it from with a full bellhousing, ive been using a bump starter button but i dont like doing that on a flex plate by time there is only 1 convertor bolt left.
the shop will swap bellhousings free, its a $1300 rebuild, my concern is the strength of the half bellhousing.
