  28. In the race truck we have a Ford 262 inline six bolted to a home-made steel adapter plate that's bolted to a Lakewood Chevy bell housing that's bolted to a GM T5. The flywheel is a Ford Y block (bolt pattern is the same as the 262 crank) that's been machined down to accept a Chevy 153 tooth ring gear so we can run a Chevy starter and drilled and tapped to run a Chevy 10.5 inch clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. In the pic below, @57 HEAP is working on pinning the flywheel to the crank. You can see where the original pressure plate bolt holes are cut in half as a result of turning down the diameter of the flywheel. @john mullen is the mad scientist that figured all this out.

    This is kind of weird but I just love the way a three speed feels in a light rod. I'm using this '66 GTO 389 in my Vicky with a Ford 303 trans. It is an incredibly easy adaption. I scored a steel blowproof 'bell on here and made a homemade blockplate just because the origional was missing. Nothing special. I them turned the Ford bearing retainer to GM specs, ($55.00 at B&Y Machine). The trans centered itself in the 'bell and I trnasfer punched and and added three new bolt holes by drilling and welding grade 8 nuts to the inside of the steel 'bell.

    I used a new Ram 1557LW flywheel, a stocker would have worked, along with the matching Ram GM pressure plate and generic Ford 11" clutch disc from Speedway. A '70 Bronco 3 speed pilot bushing works without modification. The whole assembly dropped together, easy peezy. I haven't got it in at this point but hopefully everything will run very nice. No reason not to! The top shifter is a Jeep T 150, (junk yard issue), with a '48 pickup stick grafted on. After I get it properly shaped in the Model "A" it will get chromed.
