Re: Penny

During a couple evenings last week, dad and I worked on getting the engine and transmission back in the truck. New clutch, new flywheel, all bolted together, and swung into place. Looks right at home there!

Also discovered that I should’ve tried to track down a correct bellhousing instead of using one from a 60s truck. I didn’t think to check where the clutch z-bar landed on the drivetrain side and just assumed it was the block. Whoops. So next step will be making a bracket that’ll mount off the two spots in the block and stick past the rear so that the z-bar can fit in the correct spot
