Re: Clutch Z bar attachment to a 302
The 1970 motor that I am planning on installing does have a place,now my 90s 302 and 351 do not but they look like they could be drilled for one.

Re: Clutch Z bar attachment to a 302

Clutch Z bar attachment to a 302
The 460 will be coming out and the 70 302 from my 65 custom 500 will be going in but since I still have the clutch linkage and pedals for the 66 I am thinking about going to a manual trans,would the Z bar attach to the spot in the block for the ball or is there a bracket that is needed.

Re: What years of 4 speeds can I use in my 66
Make sure you get all the pulleys with the engines, as finding a matched set can be iffy at best. Just so you know, Even on stock engines in the cars and trucks the pulleys had an alignment problem. Good price on the engines. I can not use any of the brackets on those motors since they are for a se...

Re: What years of 4 speeds can I use in my 66
Plans have changed again and its going to get a 351-W and will use the smallblock C-6 and mounts from the 78 parts truck,I picked up a running 302 and 351 from wrecked trucks for 100 each so I could not pass them up.

Re: What years of 4 speeds can I use in my 66

What years of 4 speeds can I use in my 66
To keep it simple and cheap I am not going to install a car 4 speed in my 66 but start looking for a truck 4 speed,what I need to know is what years of trans can I use with my bellhousing. I would like one that has a switch for back up lights since I did add them to my truck.

Re: Installing a car 4 speed
I have decided to put a truck 4 speed back in since I might sell or trade it in the future,I do not want to get it set up for the car trans and then have to put a 3 speed in to sell it.

Installing a car 4 speed
My 66 originally had a 4 speed and since I still have all the clutch parts I am wanting to install a car 4 speed when it gets another FE this winter,I thought I read that I would need a 3 speed bellhousing to do that so is that correct,if that is the case anyone have the casting number in case I fin...

Re: I think the 460 will have to go
I have been offered a 352 and since I still have the original FE mounts and clutch parts I could install my toploader 4 speed too,should have gotten the 70 390 at the pull and pay last year.

Re: I think the 460 will have to go
The motor will have to come out to see exactly what is going on and even though gas is realtively cheap I do not like feeding the 460 on long trips so a 351-W would be much better,I am going to repair the 460 and put it in something light that I can play with on the track. Since I have small block m...

Rear sump oil pan in a 66
Since the 460 that is in my 66 right now has issues I will most likely got with a 302 or 351-W and since I will most likely find one in a van or 80 and newer truck it will have a rear sump pan so will it work or have to convert to front sump pan.

I think the 460 will have to go
I have been chasing a vibration in my 66 since installing the 460 back in 09 and finally found out the source and its not going to be a simple repair,I was hoping it was in the driveline or suspension but its in the motor. I bought a 77 with a Jasper reman 460 and C-6 and from what I can tell I thin...

Re: Gear change
Its in third by 20,I fought this trans since I put it in and when it had 3.54 gears it was in third by 10 so I adjusted the modulator until it was all the way in and adjusted the loose intermdiate band which helped and was ok with the 2.75 gears but I need to do something about it now. I was told us...
