T5 / sbc
Hey All,
I am trying to piece together some functional parts to get Rusty back on the road ... and I was hoping to run something by the great minds here and make sure I have all my bases covered. I have a 350 that we rescued from the Craigslist (14010207 block - 80-85 "truck" motor) that I was able to hear run on a test stand and a rebuilt T5 (26 spline) with a warranty and now I've got the job of joining them together ... I am hoping to keep using a hydraulic master cylinder ( I have Capt'n Fab's brackets and those components) I was trying to find a kit that covers it all, and I found this : https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/6008...UaAl7DEALw_wcB or this questionable amazon offering : https://www.amazon.com/ClutchMaxPRO-...evrolet+Camaro will this kit plus some new flywheel bolts help me bolt this all together? Is there anything else that I would / should need or does anybody else have any other recommendations?

Re: T5 / sbc
Its just a clutch kit, any for the application will work.

Re: T5 / sbc
What Tom said. Just use the clutch kit for the 350. You will likely have to drill out 2 holes on the T5 to mount to bell housing. Other than that it should work.

Re: T5 / sbc
What do you have now? bell housing, fly wheel, pilot bearing etc. My '54 3100 came with a granny gear cast iron 4 speed. I used every thing except, I replaced the clutch disc with an 11 inch disc for an Astro van. It's the only part I bought. Good info in the above post. I wish I would have had all that info in one place when I did mine.

Re: T5 / sbc
If not a "World Class" T5, go easy on her as you are likely right up against the torque limit!
