Hey all,

Is any one running a T-5 conversion w/ your Y-block. A buddy of mine is running a 292 w/ a 10" clutch, from what I can see the T-5 needs a 10.5" clutch. Now my buddy is wondering if you could use an 11" y-block pressure plate w/ the 10.5 " clutch for the T-5 while at the same time using the original flywheel for the 10" clutch. I'm thinking probably not due to the mounting points on the flywheel for the 11" pressure plate may be different, and it just plain may not work with the pressure plate. Any thoughts.

 

As long as the spline count is right, I don't think it matters if you are 10, 10.5 or 11.

Bell/scattershield here, don't know if you need it. Also T5 stuff, mostly sbf Mustang, but they venture out a bit and were helpfull via email when I contacted them:

Man that wagon is sweetness...

 

Y-Blockhead,

I haven't taken any pictures of it with the digital camera yet, I will try to take some soon. I've always liked the station wagons, I've had this one for 11 yrs, since I've been in high school actually. The car is semi disassembled currently for paint, it's a more-door 6 passenger. Your Ranch wagon looks beautiful, and fun to drive. How do you like the C4 conversion , I figured it would be good for the Y-block lighter and more efficient then the old Ford-o-matic. Just curious have you found any forums similar to this for 50's Ford cars? I would love be part of one.
