I Have A 1986 Z28, It Was Originally A 305 4bbl Car With A 5sp Tranny.
I Yankked The 305 And Replaced With A 383 Stroker. I Have To Use A Sbc 400 Flywheel Because The Engine Is Externally Balanced. I Want To Use The Factory 5sp, What Clutch, Pressure Plate Setup Do I Use? The Original Pressure Plate From The 305 Doesn't Come Close To Fitting The Flywheel From The 400. Is All This Going To Fit Inside The Bell Housing?? Thanks In Advance For The Help

 

You will probably get a lot more replys on this one if you post it in Drivetrain rather than Advanced Tech.

I know you are new here, but you really should read the second "sticky" at the top of Advanced Tech.

I don't know the answer to your clutch question, but even a mild 383 is going to be a lot stronger than your original T5 trans was designed for. Remember GM didn't even sell the 350 with that trans. Too many T5s went boom in testing.

Good luck.

 

Please post in the correct forum..... moving to "Drivetrain".

Just curious... why do you capitalize the first letter of every word? Isn't that a lot of extra work?

 

its the computer that caps every word, i'm a "pecker" when it comes to typing, i 'm lucky to do 20 wpm

 

The board automatically does that if a message is posted in all caps.
