460 with a 390 flywheel
Ok Im putting a pre 79 460 in my 79250 351m/4spd. I have the 390 flywheel with only 1 set of pressure plate mounting holes. The only pressure plate Ive found so far to bolt up is a 3 finger {long} type right for a76 390. I know i can clearence the webs in the bell housing to clear the bigger clutch. What im concerend about is the added length will the clutch fork work right can I adjust it enough.
What would be really great is if anyone knows of a diaphram clutch to fit this flywheel. Since i already bought it and got it resurfaced. I know to use the different flywheel bolts also. I hope i can get a quick answer i want to do this over the weekend. It takes a day to get a clutch Ive already ordered 5 lol.
Thanks Andy

Thats easy, a 400 diaphragm clutch, from say, a 78 Bronco, will bolt right up to a 390 flywheel. You may or may not need a longer rod from the pedal to Z-bar, or a longer clutch adustemnt rod (lots of different sizes, when I did my swap I just messed with a few till I found one to fit) Good luck, and email me if you have any questions.
