Who makes that bellhousing (w/SFI sticker)? Does it have the same containment properties as a 1/4" steel hydro-formed SFI housing?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

Great to see your back!!! We all missed the flying pig.
Looking at you block pics it always amazed me that there is almost nothing connecting the two sides of the block! How about a flat crank and you make a twin four out of it?

Again, great to see  you posting.
