Is the billet bell housing Liberty tranny allowed to be used in BOTI S/C, CMI T4 and other equivalent SFWD classes?

If the bell housing is questionable in BOTI rules then it will be questionable at CMI because CMI goes by BOTI rules.

It would disappointing to invest the extra money and not be able to race
That bell housing looks so sweet though and im sure it would hold up better than a modded stock housing

i cant see why anyone would make something illegal that would keep a car running a lot longer and keeping the car counts up. I know its rare to break the bell housing but damn. This sport suffers to much already from racer downtime. It doesn't give you a speed edge.

Read the rules.

Driveline and transmission.

Say's nothing about aftermarket bell housings.

But you must retain OEM driveline configuration, to me that means OEM layout. Guys run aftermaket axles and there ok.

This thread is about the bell housing not the transmission.

read the rule book.

TRANSMISSION, MANUAL:
Transmission must be from the same manufacturer.

Heheh I know what you mean Joe...I was pondering the other day that the "SFWD" Class doesnt even seem to be a "street car" class anymore. I think they should consider moving the existing Hot Rod cars into the ProFWD since there are very few hotrod cars anyways and move us "sfwd" cars into a hot rod class...I mean that's what it seems like anyways right? Exhausts coming out the hood and stuff doesnt seem very street class

For the few of us building a Hot Rod car, I would not like to see that happen.

Lets not highjack this thread.

i was just talking with steve about these crazy expensive sfwd cars. i think you guys should move into hotrod class ! (tony, joe, miller, pretty much all of these sfwd cars are "baby" hotrods, hell some of ya's have more expensive setups then some of the currently running hotrod cars. progression is just insane
