    Fastest and strongest 7.5"?

    Do I need an aftermarket carrier to go with the 28 spline axles? Where do I get them? I'm using a powertrax locker, but not a mini spool... so the spider gears have already been eliminated... do you think this locker will put excess strain on the axles? So should I get REALLY strong axles or...

    Ok, so I went and picked up my clutch set and flywheel today... crazy... I haven't been in the parts store this much in a really long time... Anyway, the flywheel and the clutch set seemed to match up just fine and all seems well for now... I realized I am spending too much money, or having...

    flywheel/bellhousing questions

    ok, so I did this write-up on my thread for my TKO-600 swap and figured I should let whoever is watching this one in on the good news... ugh... so I went to Fenco's (the clutch manufacturer) website and roamed around their parts catalog for a while and compared clutches... here's what I came up...

    Good ol' Summitracing.com verified all my theories real quick... Just ran a cross reference of this clutch kit I found for the 81 Malibu... it pulls up pretty much every mid to full size car with a SBC from 1967 to 1988... I guess they're not that different after all and I didn't have anything...

    ugh... so I went to Fenco's (the clutch manufacturer) website and roamed around their parts catalog for a while and compared clutches... here's what I came up with... The 350 ci clutch kit for the 78 Malibu is a 10 spline...(NU1853-1)... it is the same kit that fits the 75 corvette with a...

    I guess I am mostly trying to avoid spending $300 on a flywheel and another $300 on the clutch... unless someone knows of a lot cheaper set somewhere...

    flywheel/bellhousing questions

    I guess I'm looking at it logically... Most older cars, like A bodies I guess, I think, ran a 621 bellhousnig... I think... and since the 606 is basically the same thing, with just a relocated fork ball stud... then "logically" for example, a 75 Corvette clutch and flywheel listed for the...

    flywheel/bellhousing questions

    while I've got your attention... where did you get that shaker hood? Did you do a custom job yourself? did you just steal a T/A scoop and cut the hole?

    flywheel/bellhousing questions

    how do you guys feel about just buying a 621 bellhousing and drilling/tapping out the hole lower for the lower ballstud position and then just grinding the other stud, from the standard position, down level with the casting? I feel like this will probably keep the casting's strength and...

    I don't want to second guess you or anything, but the flywheel is listed under the 81 Malibu... is this wrong? You all have more experience than me with this, and AZ is prone to mistakes like this... I used to work there... I was just hopeful since it is listed as fitting both 10.5 and 11"...

    so can someone tell me something about this flywheel... http://www.autozone.com/R,4093951/vehicleId,1237105/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,1621/partType,00906/shopping/partProductDetail.htm ... will it fit in the G-body 606 bellhousing? Will it allow the standard 10.5" clutch to bolt to...

    rear disc using weld-on/bolt-on caliper brackets ?'s

    Those spherical rod ends/stabilizer bars on your housing... Are those worth it? do you think they would make very much difference? I want my 7.5" to last as long as I can get it to. I am already going to put one of the differential support housings like that on mine, but that looks like a good...

    well the project officially started on Saturday... I found out I needed to buy a different starter because of the smaller flywheel than the flexplate I currently have... Smiley's was having a sale this last weekend and so I went ahead and picked up a new one that fits both the 10.5" and 11"...

    rear disc using weld-on/bolt-on caliper brackets ?'s

    It looks like this is the kit, I was trying to figure out what I was going to do about the parking brake, and this looks like the answer. I just didn't want to have to track down Cadillac calipers and then use them for cores when the remans cost like $60 alone... But this kit includes them for...

    flywheel/bellhousing questions

    Can I bolt up a 168 tooth flywheel in a 606 g-body bellhousing and then bolt up a 10.5" clutch set to the bigger flywheel? I am trying to avoid buying a different starter when I switch over to the 5-speed without having to track down or front the money for an 11" bell.
