As far as the bell, it's for a SBF. I don't know if the Viper bell is a GM but I know it won't fit. D&D most likely made the bell housing, for SBF, but I hear they are really pricey as they want you to buy the whole tranny from them.

I'm not a drag racer but why couldn't you use an approved scatter blanket?

Yes, it requires cutting the tranny tunnel. I rasied mine 4" and ended up with a 2 degree downward angle.

The Viper spec tranny has a .50 6th gear. Why, I don't know but I guess cause that engine makes all kinds of torque. Just make sure your engine combo can run at the 2000 RPM you will cruise at. Hot cams, big valves mean poor performance at cruising RPM.
