C6 to NP435 swap??'S
Well I tried to run the C6 I have behind my 460,and it didn't work out,and now I have a brand new NP435 I want to put in.I have a 351M/400 manual bellhousing,a 460 flywheel to match my 79 mill,and all the peddle's,and linkage's for clutch arm or z-bar.Im just not sure about the bellhousing fit?Will the 351M/400 Bellhousing work for this swap,or is there any hidden detail's I don't know.It's been a while since Ive posted.Ive been out beating the death out of what was left of my C6 in the 1979 Supercab 4X4 dually with the 460/C6/Np205 combo,and a D60 Frnt/D70 Rear.What a JOY to drive.Im like a little boy everytime I turn the key.I also got a Ford logo tattoo on my arm last week.It look's sweet!

Ive been hearing somthing about useing a 390 flywheel,and a 3/16 plate between motor,and tranny becuase of the offset of the 351m/400 bellhousing?I have a 79 460ci. and need the counter weight on the 79 flywheel.The 390 has a internal balance,and no counter weight.I wish I could get a little more info on this bellhousing issue?Thank's in advance.

ok you have a 460 flywheel from a truck ?as long as your not using any of the 360 390 parts you need not to worry..you have a m bell housing a flywheel froma 460 and the clutch and starter from the 460 or m get your pedals the motor is 79 then use the counterweight there is no difference in bells just the thickness of fly wheels. these swaps are so easy, a cave man can do it!

I had a thought today as I begane to tear down the C6 Comblo out today,and after reading several post about 73-9's not having manual tranny's now I don't think my flywheel is correct becuase the casting # on the back of flywheel start's with D9TE-8083?How can I tell if my Flywheel is actually a 335 series,and not for the 385 series mill.I really want to make sure I have all the right part's.TYIA!
