302 Bellhousing and Misc Tech...

KargoMaster · 10-30-2008, 12:18 AM

Yep, I'm worse than a girl choosing her clothes...
5.0 that I shouldn't pass up... but it's in front of an auto trans, and I dislike autos... so trying to figure out what I need to bolt it to my Ford NP435... to see if it's really worth it...

Here's what I think I'll need: tell me if I'm missing something

New Engine Mounts (this will suck given the girth of the previous version 3.0 AMC mounts)
Flywheel (157 tooth??)
Bellhousing
Clutch fork (unless AMC will work)
Clutch fork boot
External slave cyl
throwout bearing

And, I'm hoping that the DualFriction Centerforce clutch that I bought for the AMC will somehow work (at least I know that the spline count and hole diam. and outer diam. are the same...)

Anyone have any of this laying around?

Tony?

Need to know year. Older is externally balanced newer is internally balanced

I think it's an EFI 5.0 from 1989? LTD

edit: I'm gonna guess speed density and not MAF

Not sure if that's "Older" or "Newer"

Thanks Tony.

I would love to show you some pics but my Jeep is an unofficial permanent landscape item at Terry's so I will see if he can email me some. They are simple. A bracket on the engine and a bracket on the frame with a bolt through them and a YJ spring bushing for the rubber.

Buy a new flywheel. $90 at KOI. 92 F-250 with a 302. This application gives you the larger clutch. I do have an externally balanced one in my garage. You can have it if you need it.

Already ordered the flywheel (I'm an impatient bastard that knows that I'll have to have the fricken thing refinished anyway)... Would that be a clutch larger than 11"?

Much appreciated Tony, and thanks again for actually adding valuable information here... guess I should really move this to tech huh?
