All you guys that agonize over 'dialing in' the flywheel housing to the block can throw away all your fancy measuring tools and replace them with a Stanley tape measure when using the new F150 Model A bell housing I saw.
Did the housing you saw have Macspeed embossed on it, because the Macspeed units here in New Zealand are superb quality, and there are a great number of them in use. I'm picking the one you saw was either some off brand or if it was a Macspeed it would have to be a rogue unit that slipped through. I have no affiliation with Macspeed, but Graeme MacNeill has a fantastic reputation for top quality work here in kiwiland.
