Thread: 4 Speed 101 ????

Tweet

OK guys I have decided that I am done with Automatics at least for a while. My newest 46 Ford tudor is one fine driving car. just got it a couple of weeks ago and even with this lousy rainy weather here in Alabama I have put a 1,000 miles on this car. It came with a SBC and the usual Turbo 350 and that for this driver is boring. So I am on that quest to put a Muncie 4 speed in it. Trouble is that danged linkage thing, so I have decided to go with a Hydraulic clutch set-up and a Muncie. Trouble is it has been about a zillion years sense I messed with this stuff and I am lost with nowhere to start.

There is a poster on here, who is supposed to really know his way around the Hydraulic's, I won't mention any names, and I have sent him half a dozen e-mails and a couple of PM's with no luck and no response. So I am turning to you guys.

Think I have a pretty good idea of the parts I need, but the specifics allude me. Here's the list:

Bellhousing ---------- But which one will the 621 casting # work here?
Clutch & Pressure Plate---- Once again which one and what size?
Throw out bearing
Pilot Bushing ---- Do I need a special one for the Muncie?
Slave Cylinder ---- Don't even have a clue here.
Mouinting bracket for the slave cylinder
Master cylinder for the slave
Pedal assemble --- Any advice

Any help will be gratefully recieved.
