And for me No matter what I did and no matter how hard I tried to over complicate things I still found the simplest and best way was Dwight's adapter. So after buying and using the last ones he had even the ones he had saved back for himself I made a deal with him and now produce them. I never said your kit did not work and it works fine. But so does The old offenhauser and The speedway kit in most cases. For me personally Good is not good enough. I want the best! And for my experience and In my opinion there are better ways than your kit to do the T5 to early ford swap. It's just my opinion! You are entitled to your opinion just like I am. As I said there are more than one way to adapt a T5 to a early ford, I have mentioned what I don't care for about your kit and 2 others from my personal experience. Have you ever used one of the Bond adapters? And if so what did you like or dislike about it? Also you say I know nothing about your kit, Is this bell in my pic taken today laying in my shop floor with the drilled hole and metal cover bolted on it one of yours?
