What clutch and flywheel are you going to be using?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
What clutch and flywheel are you going to be using?
No problem, fun project to work on.....how much thinner or thicker of a plate (not including the large round step for the bellhousing) do you think they could be made?
I'm not sure quite yet. I actually am about 1mm from getting the bellhousing tight to the block. I'm not sure if the pilot is jammed against the bushing that's still in the crank (I didn't have a tool to pull it) or the bolts I got just ran out of thread (they weren't full threaded).
It's close enough for now to do what I need. I'm pretty sure it's just the bushing in the crank (it's stepped so it must be hitting where it necks down the furthest point into the crank).
BTW you get my email about the ID of the bearing retainer hole? Looks like that one I sent you was smaller than a genuine ford. Wasn't a big issue on my end, I just pulled the retainer, stuck a large extension thru it then "lathed" it against the grinder wheel (which is so worn out it went nice and slow).
Not much to update other than it fit great!
Actually, so it looks like the RN crank might be different in the pilot bearing end of it than the earlier crank which might explain why I'm about 1mm too long on the input shaft. I think I'd be careful going down to 3/4".
Like I said, might not be an issue with the first gen whiteblocks. I could loosen the transmission from the bellhousing and see if the bellhousing will draw down the last 1mm. Could be a couple reasons for this (amongst other things, not actually having the original bellhousing bolts, just Lowes' specials LOL).
Yea, I noticed you sinned and used SAE threads for that and not metric!
I need a t5 to t5 adapter plate. How much are they and where do i order? Also what bell housing do i need for this?
Any plans on making another one soon? I will gladly send you $200 for one. Really needing this done for my project and for me it's one of the most difficult pieces for me to build.
