    I have a Lakewood scattershield behind my 225 V-6. I am running a T-14 trans. Does anybody know if the scattershield has a number on it or what other motors it might fit?

    If it has the starter pocket on passenger side it fits 225/231/252 V-6's and most Buick V-8's except nailheads. If it has starter pockets on both sides it also fits most Olds, Pontiac, and Cadillac 472-500 V-8

    Thanks for the reply, I thought it might fit Chevrolet, would be easy to unload. Anyone need a boat anchor? Do you know if a model number is stamped on it anywhere?

    Chevrolet is completely different. I've seen some stamped and some not. These are definitely not boat anchors. Price a new one out at Summit or Jeg's.

    To be used in any form of Organized Competition it would have to be re-certified most use aluminum or Titanium Bell Housings now................Your right extra weight for really no need or benifit.

    Those are heavy buggers, the Chevy version I was using was 37.2 lbs with the block plate, versus 9.0 for the stock aluminum bell. Not too many of us really turning the rpms where you need those. I finally went with a steel flywheel and put the aluminum back on.

    A friend of mine blew the clutch in his 68 vette when I was in college and that certainly did leave a big impression-







    in numerous places on the vette body and some on his body. Damn near totaled the car. Floor was pretty much missing.

    The cool thing about a scatter shield is it is very easy to adapt various transmissions using one as long as the depth is correct. For example, to install a Ford cased T-18 to the engine, drill 4 holes and tack weld nuts on the inside.....

    Steel scatter shields are great for transadapter, used an old one I had from a chevy engine to adapt my Chevy 153 four cylinder to my Ford T18. Had the bearing retainer cut down to chevy size, drilled new hole pattern, and welded some nuts on the back side. The extra weight is no real problem.
