Hi everyone,
I recently bought a 66 Fairlane, 6 cylinder, 3 speed standard transmission. I want to swap in my 482 FE (Engine info and specs are posted in the dyno section) , a 4 speed toploader trans., and a 9" rear end. For this post, I just want to deal with the clutch questions. I have Lakewood steel bellhousing, which I will use for the swap. For the clutch linkage, the car has a 3 peed standard in it. Can I use that clutch linkage, or do I need to change it? If I need to change it, is the linkage specific to an FE engine, or is it generic to both SBF and FE? Finally, any recommendations for flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate, for 650HP/630TQ? Anything I've missed?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
