Lakewood Cast Aluminum Bellhousing: Mopar 318/360 Small Block / Gen III Hemi Engines
Lakewood Cast Aluminum Bellhousing
Mopar 318/360 Small Block and Gen III Hemi Engines
LK7000
Overview:
The Lakewood Cast Aluminum Bellhousing is engineered to provide a reliable and lightweight connection between Mopar 318, 360 small block, or Gen III Hemi engines and a variety of transmissions. This bellhousing is an excellent choice for enthusiasts and professionals performing transmission swaps who require a compact, durable, and cost-effective solution. It supports Mopar 3-speed and 4-speed transmissions, including A-833, A-903, A-250, and A-230 models, as well as Ford-style TKX and TKO transmissions, making it highly versatile for multiple drivetrain configurations.
Designed to accommodate a 130-tooth flywheel with a 10.5-inch clutch, this bellhousing offers tighter dimensions that simplify installation and improve fitment in swap applications. Whether you are upgrading your clutch actuation system or maintaining a mechanical or hydraulic setup, this bellhousing provides the necessary alignment and compatibility to ensure smooth operation and reliable performance.
Key Features:
This Lakewood bellhousing combines practical design with quality materials to meet the demands of performance builds and restoration projects. Key features include:
- Direct fit for Mopar 318, 360 small block, and Gen III Hemi engines
- Compatible with Mopar 3-speed and 4-speed transmissions (A-833, A-903, A-250, A-230)
- Supports Ford-style TKX and TKO transmissions for versatile swap options
- Lightweight cast aluminum construction similar to original equipment
- Designed for use with a 130-tooth flywheel and 10.5-inch clutch for tighter, swap-friendly dimensions
- Includes multiple transmission alignment rings (4.345", 4.807", and 4.850" inside diameters) for precise fitment
- Suitable for both mechanical and hydraulic clutch actuation systems
- Lower cost alternative to steel SFI-rated bellhousings for projects without racing certification requirements
Construction & Design:
The bellhousing is crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, providing an ideal balance of strength and weight savings compared to traditional steel units. This material choice reduces overall drivetrain weight, which can contribute to improved vehicle handling and responsiveness. The design closely mirrors original equipment bellhousings, ensuring proper alignment and compatibility with factory components while offering enhanced durability for performance applications.
Precision engineering ensures that the bellhousing maintains correct alignment between the engine and transmission, minimizing wear and maximizing clutch engagement efficiency. The inclusion of multiple alignment rings allows for exact fitment across a range of transmission models, reducing installation time and potential issues during drivetrain assembly.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Lakewood Cast Aluminum Bellhousing is straightforward for experienced mechanics and enthusiasts familiar with Mopar engine and transmission swaps. It bolts directly to Mopar 318, 360 small block, and Gen III Hemi engines without modification. The bellhousing’s compact dimensions facilitate easier clearance in tight engine bays, making it an excellent choice for custom builds and restorations.
Because it supports both mechanical and hydraulic clutch actuation, this bellhousing adapts to a variety of clutch setups. The included alignment rings ensure proper transmission fitment, eliminating guesswork and helping to maintain drivetrain reliability. No additional modifications are typically required when pairing with compatible Mopar or Ford-style transmissions.
What's Included:
- Lakewood cast aluminum bellhousing
- Transmission alignment rings with inside diameters of 4.345", 4.807", and 4.850"
Ideal For:
This bellhousing is ideal for Mopar enthusiasts, custom builders, and professional mechanics seeking a lightweight, reliable, and cost-effective solution for transmission swaps involving Mopar 318/360 small block or Gen III Hemi engines. It is well suited for street rods, muscle cars, and performance vehicles where maintaining proper clutch and transmission alignment is critical without the need for an SFI-rated steel bellhousing.
