Bellhousing question
I have a cast iron bell for my auto-4spd swap. It's the one made foe our trucks. Question is; Do I have to use that one, or can I use an aluminum one from a different car? If so, what cars are best? Also, any idea where I can get the bracket on the frame for the clutch mounting?

If you are using a car trans,there are 2 different hole sizes on the truck bell. 67,& prior was 4 11/16 (same as car),or 5 1/8 68 up on the trucks. Shoot a little more info on trans ,ect& Im sure there is a way...69

69
I have a saginaw 4 spd. was going to use a muncie, but too much $$$. The bell I have now is the one with the big hole, and it all bolts up fine. There is a gap, but it will work, plenty of contact area. Just wanted to try to save some weight if I could. This thing is heavy enough. |
