Technical Hydraulic clutch help

Hello

I am trying to locate a hydraulic clutch kit for a munice 4 speed with a gm bell housing part number

Bell housing numbers

GM 11 3925505.

I'm running a 350 sbc ...and hoping clearance will not be an issue...I appreciate any help


Thank you

 

These wouldn’t work with my old style bell housing. My bell housing mounts are staggered. If yours are not, something like this would work.

so I made this. Crude but works

the slave cyl is for an early 60s gm truck.
modern style ones would probably take up less room
If I had the factory hydraulic v8 bell from the early 60s I’d would have used that instead. Slave is mounted on the passenger side

 

Thanks for the reply....I have the staggered pattern and the speedway kit did not work.... Hoping someone makes a kit for this .,...but if all else fails I may have to go your route...thanks for the help and support ...

what part is "staggered pattern"?

 

The drunk part.

 

I made this one for my car to use on the Ansen bell.

 

Best term I could come up with
Maybe this helps
Mine are like this. Taller bosses on the bottom bolt

Not like these

 

Here’s the 60-62 c10-30 bell

could possibly space your top bolt like this?

No spacer on bottom and the top with one?

 

Try Novak Conversions..

 

thanks for the explanation.

Also look at the center hole on that 68-72 truck bellhousing, it is larger than the front bearing retainer on a car Muncie transmission or the older SM420 truck 4 speed. But it will work with a Saginaw truck transmission or the SM465 truck 4 speed. You can use a spacer ring if needed to make it work.

 

Mechanical, similar to stock '57 Chevy, is so simple and reliable that the question is, "Why use a hydraulic system?"

 

My truck was born hydraulic with a 6
So I adapted the stock set up to the bell housing I had.

 

Don't have blinders on and assume an external slave cylinder is the only way. OEMs long ago went to hydraulic throwout bearings. The GM parts should bolt in.

Post a pic of the speedway set up

 

A simple alternative to hydraulic and mechanical:

 

I went with a Speedway external slave. Bellhousing is from a '55 Chevy. I have had it for decades, thought it was from a truck. Plate is made from 303 stainless steel.

 

Simple bracket to bolt to the bell housing mount bolts; don't see any reason you couldn't build a dogleg in the bracket to suit the tall bolt boss on your bell.

 

I used a slave cylinder from an old Datsun truck. It bolted right onto my Chev cast iron bell housing that had a clutch fork on the driver side with a little hole slotting.

I used one of these when I converted my coupe to M/T and am very happy with it.
Not the cheapest option, but does eliminate all the mechanical linkage and in a model A there is not much room between the side of the bell housing and the brake pedal / linkage.

 

Thank u....would not have though of this set up. I think this may work.
