Hey everyone,
I have a '66 Mustang with a '93 5.0 Mustang 302, Lakewood scatter shield for a '66 Mustang, and a '65 toploader with stock z-bar mechanical clutch linkage.
I've searched the forums and I believe I have the correct combo of parts but I just wanted to see if this is what others are using. I've been running this setup for the last year but I had horrible clutch chatter due to oil seeping through the flywheel bolts (no thread sealer installed initially... *stupid, stupid, stupid!*). Due to the Lakewood, I was using a late-68 clutch fork (10.5" long) but I had serious fork-header interference with my Hooker Comps. I now believe getting the shorter '66 fork and notching the bell housing is the better solution.
I am specifically interested in which throw out bearing and clutch fork are correct for my setup.
Thanks!
Parts:
'93 roller pilot bearing
'93 mini starter
'93 King Cobra clutch kit (10.5 Flywheel (157 teeth, 50oz), 10 spline clutch disc, diaphragm pressure plate)
'65 toploader with small input shaft and 28 spline output
'66 bellhousing (Lakewood model 15200) (will check runout)
'66 clutch fork (9.25" length)
'66 throwout bearing specific to diaphragm pressure plates (National 614038)
'66 Mustang (non-hipo) mechanical clutch linkage
5.0 block to '66 z-bar adapter
