    Best hydraulic clutch set up?

    That’s the 3rd version of what looks to be the exact same kit. I wonder who the original manufacture is for them.

    Best hydraulic clutch set up?

    Thanks for input. Any specifics why? Better quality or fit or design?

    Best hydraulic clutch set up?

    The 2 kits I'm looking at are the universal Mcleod kit ($500ish) sold by brewers and a few other places and the American Powertrains ($670ish) kit. The A.P. kit uses a dowel rod to locate the slave cylinder and also uses their adjustable clutch master cylinder mount. It also comes with the shims...

    New shift levers?

    Both Passon and Brewers sell restored 72-up non-console shifters but neither sell a new option. There are a few generic options but not a specific one. The Hurst website brings back 'We couldn't find what you're looking for'. The shifterdoc website is a bit chaotic but and I didn't see it there...

    New shift levers?

    Are there any companies reproducing 72-up A-body non-console shift levers? The restored oem ones seem to go for big money if you can even find them.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    It's back in storage temporarily. Like Mike said we ended up moving to Japan. I'm working on a big parts list for when I get back.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    I modified the mount just like the directions. I think there are just too many variables for it to work perfectly for everyone. It's in and it should work.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    I got the engine in for what I'm hoping is the last time. I ended up having to elongate out the holes in the transmission mount to try and get the engine as far forward as possible to keep the oil pump out of the crossmember mount. There is only about an .125" of metal left on the side of the...

    440 oil pump contacting crossmember

    This is what I was first thinking but it would need to be quite a bit thicker. Probably 3/8" to 1/2" to account for the movement of the rubber mount. I going to end up trimming the crossmember like they recommend.

    440 oil pump contacting crossmember

    Maybe. I bought this kit a few years ago and then the whole project sat idle for years. I just found on there website where it talks about it. That's my bad. I'll modify the crossmember like they recommend. '67-72 A-Body B/RB Installation

    440 oil pump contacting crossmember

    Has anyone built a solid mount that is a little bit taller than the factory biscuit so you dont have to clearance the crossmember? Mine is powder coated and honestly I'd really like to avoid cutting it up.

    I gotcha. Any chance you have a picture for reference?

    440 oil pump contacting crossmember

    So I test fit my 440/a833 combo in my 72 dart today. I'm using the Schumacher sb to bb conversion mounts. The oil pump land right on the crossmember mount and keeps the rubber isolator just off the crossmember. I'm sure i'm not the first one to run into this. What have you guys done to remedy...

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    I test fit the motor and transmission today today. I ran into a couple fitment issues. The firewall seam needs clearanced for the bellhousing, not a big deal. The other big issue is the oil pump contacts the crossmember, not allowing the motor mount to fully seat. I completely forgot about...

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    This is the older version. I think it is a big block specific issue.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    That looks good! It's the pro street clutch I think its called. Good for 450hp.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    I installed the clutch and bellhousing today. I found a few other posts showing how they had to modify the driver's header for the z-bar. I can see why now. I'll have to do the same.

    I got the scatter shield clearanced. I couldn't take the red next to the hemi orange any longer, lol.

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    I was under the impression you didn't need that kit if you used the 143 flywheel. Seems strange to have to use an adapter kit for every flywheel.

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    I got this adapter kit with the bellhousing. I bought it all second hand but still new in the box.

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    I tested the starter the way it was and it turns over the engine without issue! With the 'cup' on the nose of the starter it's distance is set from the flywheel. Here is a video of it turning over and of the 'slop' issue.

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    Thanks for the reply. I just finished centering the bellhousing with offset dowels. Any chance you have any pictures of yours installed?

    Need help mounting mini-starter to lakewood bellhousing

    Is this how the starter is supposed to mount in the Lakewood bellhousing? There is a bunch of slop in it. It's distance from the flywheel seems to be set by the 'cup' bolted inside the bellhousing but it can rotate almost a 1/4" with the bolt hole slop. Thanks in advance.

    72 Dart 440 4-speed build

    Good news: I got the bell centered to within 0.0025". Bad news: the bellhousing and the header want to share the same space!

    I almost went that route until I found this thing.

    I got the advanced adapters speedo plug in and installed. Really nice kit, especially for the price.
