Which is required on a 10 second car, A flexplate shield or a tranny shield? What are you guys running for a shield? I have a 1972 GS that I won't cut up to make it fit. Looking for recommendations. Thank you. Tom Jenkins
This is what I run, both in 1. Fits very well. I had to trim the finger off my Bellmore to get it to fit better, but no big deal https://www.jegs.com/i/CSR/170/837/...zvm6SHdU37hIXc9ij8xS8wtCL8Cwej4xoCerkQAvD_BwE
Did you have to pull the transmission in order to install, or just the driveshaft and crossmember ? Jim
NHRA rules require that any automatic transmission equipped car running 10.99 or quicker or faster than 135 mph ( 217 km/h ) must be equipped with a transmission shield or blanket-type shield with a SFI rating of 4.1. The straps on the blanket can handle 24,000 pounds of pressure. Quick Google search.....JIM
I put mine in when I dropped the motor and tranny in. I would guess you could drop thr crossmember and fit it in.....it uses the top 4 bolts to retain it. I had to trim the ears off to get it to lay better......I dont think it would be required......
