I have a 3 day run coming up this weekend and would like to make it but have a lot of work ahead of me. I have been reading up on this swap for quite some time but still need some adivece and a few questions answered.
Parts I have:
All cast Iron SM465 out of a 1977.
Hydro clutch bell housing
Hydro Clutch Fork
Hydro clutch pedal set up
Adapter to np205
!0 spline coupler
10 spline input shaft for my Np205
Flywheel
Still Need
Clutch ,
Pressure plate
Throw out bearing
Piolt bushing
Master
Slave
Line
Reverse light wiring
Questions:
Will a Hydro set up work with a 3 finger clutch set up or does it need a diaphragm style clutch?
Does this use a pilot bushing or bearing? I am firmilar with the bushings but have never dealt with the bearing style.
A flywheel uses different bolts to connect to the crank shaft then a flex plate correct?
I don't have gaskets for the adapter between the Trans and T case. Should I attempt to cut some from gasket paper or just use RTV?
Thanks For any help you can provide!

Juice clutch will work fine with a 3-finger. I dislike diaphram clutches in general.
Definitely use a bushing. Less moving parts = less to go wrong. I have chewed the input shaft up on more than one transmission with bearings that failed.
Not sure on the flywheel thing. I don't deal with autos if I can avoid it.
Personally, I'd cut a gasket...but you would probably be fine with a thick coat of RTV.
