Big input top loader clutch fork
« on: April 09, 2025, 10:29:32 AM »
Is anyone making the clutch fork (and release bearing) for the big input top loader or is it a matter of finding a used one?
Application is 1966 Cyclone 390. Thanks, Chuck

A Toploader for a 390 should be a small input, the larger 1 3/8" input was only used behind the 427, 428, and 429 engines. Regardless, when I needed a new clutch fork for my Toploader, McLeod offered new forks for both the big and small input applications. They were also available from Tony D Branda Mustang Parts.
1978 Fairmont,FE 427 with 428 crank, 4 speed Jerico best of 9.972@132.54MPH 1.29 60 foot
1985 Mustang HB 331 SB Ford, 4 speed Jerico, best of 10.29@128 MPH 1.40 60 foot.
1974 F350 race car hauler 390 NP435 4 speed
1959 Ford Meteor 2 dr sedan. 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed Toploader. 12.54@ 108 MPH

Thanks for all the sources guys. It is currently small input wide ratio. Back in the day, I actually twisted a small input apart. I want to rebuild and convert to big input. Chuck
