    Only 1 or 2 mobs make the bellhousing so they can fit behind LS. As you typical turbo to Tri bellhousing doesn’t fit.

     

    Call PROMATIC/PTC in Tullamarine. They build the best trimatic. Hands down.

    Any reason behind going a trimatic over say, a turbo box?

    When built right. They are killer. Lightweight, lightening quick shifts and good gear ratios.

    The tp bellhousing  doesn’t fit. It clashes.

    You need the old school half moon style, but finding a factory Gm one is rare. There was a mob making them tho. Can’t remember their name.

    That sucks as tp are easiest to get..read they’re not great for exhaust clearance.

    Certain south africa & us cars had tthem…cant remember if they were 6cyl chev but 70’s cars so needle in haystack.

    I had one of the first turbo/Tri TP Bellhousings. Had issues with their heat treating.
