Its not a hydraulic clutch. Found the bell housing from brewers performance. Still looking for the mounts and oil pan.

I'm going to swap the 318 for the 383. I found the right bell housing but my dumb question is will my flywheel clutch pressure plate from my small block work or do I have to get new ones for the big block set up?

Well crap! Looks like I might be cutting off more than I can chew.thanks for all the input and posts. Anyone need a 68 383?

OK I have a chance to pick up a 69 383. I have a 69 W200 with a 318 and the 435. Question is will it be possible to find a 727 that will work or would it be easier and cheaper to just find a bell housing for the 435?

Does anyone know if the spindle itself is replaceable or am I going to have to replace the hole axle tube?

My bad. A 69 W200

So am I correct that that the rear drums and the axle shaft housing are one piece? If so I have the wrong new drums or after you remove the axle shaft and the drum will the shaft housing come apart from the drum?

Well that worked on the distributor and the problem with running like *#%^ was a stuck choke plate. thanks for your help guys.

Trying to set my timing and cant get to 5 degrees close as I can get is 10 then the vac advance hits the fire wall. Any ideas?

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to start this site if you had not it would have made my life sooooo much harder!

Knew I could retrieve it myself for way less, so grabbed my buddies trailer, my brother and my dad, and headed for Redding Ca. Blinding snow ...
