Ok quick back story im a graduating highschool senior and ive been saving to put this bog block in my 77 f250 it had straight 6 with np 435 i have 351m bell and clutch fork and i was planning on using a RAM 429 flywheel and clutch was wandersing if that sounded right like i said im in high school and i can put it together just want to see if anyone knew if that sounded rightand will a 9 tooth starter work on 184 tooth flywheel

 

How about showing us some courtesy and using some punctuation?

You can text friends and family that way but it's a pain in tha azz to parse slam-on sentences.

 

Sorry. Like i said, i'm a senior in high school.

 

So, now that, that is settled. Do you have any input on that my big consern is the flywheel, bell, and starter

 

Look into l&l supply swap,and see if that compares to what you have.

 

when i did my 460 swap ( same as 429 ) i used a 400/351M bell housing with a 390 flywheel ,clutch and pressure plate and starter for a 400. i had a brass pilot bearing machined to fit deeper into the crank to allow for no spacers between the engine and tranny.

 

They will graduate just about anyone these days won't they?

Ok so were do i get a block spacer

 

You do not need any spacers.

Use an FE 390 184 tooth flywheel, 460 starter and matching 390 clutch set.

Never heard of anyone having issues with the pilot. Use a 6303-2RS pilot bearing.

Do not forget the z-bar engine side pivot bracket too.

That bushing is it somthing i can change qhile rhe engine is together

 

The pilot bushing/bearing is installed in the center of the crankshaft flange.

You cannot change it with everything bolted together.

Josh

 

Well the paint is drying on th engine right now

 

By bolted together, he means engine and tranny. The pilot bearing is in the end of the crank outside of the engine (the end the flywheel bolts to). You have to verify that when you bolt the engine to the transmission the input shaft on the transmission engages the pilot but does not bottom out. Time to take some measurements and don't forget to factor in the flex plate thickness.
