Have chance at reid case that will drop lot of weight compared to the JW case I have and is original piece I wanted. Good deal just bad timing . Problem maybe or not. I have JW case that fits my Hemi blocks.It bolts to pump not case like the reid two piece deals.

I don't see any reason it shouldn't work,but then w/o case in hand? Any foreseeable clinches to the two working together til I can get Reid bellhousing. Could buy and just wait,because thats so like me.LMAO

The old JW bell will not bolt to the Reid case.
I just went thru this a couple of months ago. The new JW cases will not bolt to the old JW bells (the ones that bolt thru the pump) either. I ended up buying a new Reid case and bell.

What is the difference in the JW case?

Seems if they are still using the original style front pump is should work. I know that I had to shave a little from the bottom of my JW bell to make it fit flush against the pump when I went to a JW case. But that was simple.

Honestly, I dont know. I never tried it so it may work. When I broke my stock case, everyone I talked to said the old JW bell wouldnt bolt to their new case, JW included. So instead of buying a new case and trying to bolt my old JW bell to it first and possibly missing more time if it actually didnt work, I just bought a new case and bell at the same time.

How would you get it certified, I don't think Reid would cert a cut case (if that's what your talking about, putting a JW bell on a one piece Reid case), if the bell was certed only you would need to run a shield.

Pretty sure he is talking about using back section of 2 piece case. Like my setu will require a pg to Hemi bell housing. It looks like bolting the JW bell which bolt thru pump that it should with no problem.As we all know very few things are with no problem.

I could buy case and wait to get a bell that works later. Idea was to get case pull mine and sell.Then order matching reid bell. Which I could do,but if have to wait to get bell and they don't work together then I would have more time before hitting track and everyone here knows I don't need that.

As for cert I am not real concerned about it for good while.

A JW BELL won't bolt up to a Reid 2 piece case, and if you cut the bell off of a 1 piece Reid case, the whole case is uncertifiable.
