  5. Picked up an M20. Gonna swap it into the car. 20241025_171502.jpg 20241025_171509.jpg
     
  6. Wide ratio, lower 1st gear than the M21 or 22. Good deal.

  7. That looks familiar. Now we have the same top gear ratio and axle ratio. IMG_8323.jpeg IMG_8325.jpeg

    What size is your flywheel? That’s a small flywheel bellhousing in your pic.

    Small bell left. Large bell right. IMG_3276.jpeg

    Shoot I thought like the big bell when Lloyd sent a pic yesterday, but now I see it more clearly. A stock tri 5 bell will work
     
  10. I didn’t realize there was a size difference in bellhousings. Is the small one for the 10” clutch?

  11. FUCK!!!!!! my shits 11". This is bullshit. I knew better than to spend that money.
     
  12. Problem averted, new bellhousing on the way. But I'll never get back the time I wasted cleaning the one I have! Lmao!

    Looks like a chev pattern but the registration hole looks real big, but they make adapter rings for that

    It's LG journal 68. Did you check for a steel crank?

    According to the suffix it's a 275 horse/powerglide. The pistons tell a different story though.
