250 T5 clutch question (again)

[slepysal]

Getting closer to doing the T5 swap. But have a couple of questions:

The T5 is out of a V8 Camaro, that came with a 26 spline 10.4 inch clutch. Should i just get the clutch kit for the Camaro? Will the clutch bolt up to the flywheel that is on my truck? It has a 168 tooth flywheel now.

Will the 10.4 clutch be ok? or should I look for an 11" 26 spline?

If the flywheel needs to be replaced what flywheel should I use since I believe the 250 came with a 153 tooth flywheel. Would a V8 flywheel work?

I have not taken anything off of it yet,and want to get what I need before I start.
Thanks in advance.

I have done what you are about to do. LINK HERE TO MY BLOG

If you use your original cast iron bell then you want the 168 tooth flywheel. The third generation Camaro used a different bell and a 153 tooth flywheel, but you don't really want that.

I used an 26 spline 11" clutch package.

For the price, you might consider buying a new flywheel from Rockauto. The price is nearly the same as having the old one resurfaced. Mine resurfaced was $60.

The 26 spline 11" clutch package for a 1976 K10 with 400ci engine on Rockauto is dirt cheap too.

I am interested in all things T5 related. Please tell me what you plan to do for shifter position and speedo connection. I'm here to help if I can.
