Passenger valve cover
Big block ’65 vintage oem steel. Engine is a 413, need passenger side mine is dented. Just need the one.
Clutch question for big block
Mild 413 with A833 od trans in my ’63 D100. I got with Brewer and bought there fork, pivot and essential bell housing bits. What clutch should I run, I bought a 143 tooth steel Mcleod flywheel, so thinking maybe a stock Borg and Beck or maybe a Mcleod street clutch? I want smooth but with good holding power. Also what t/o bearing with the 10 7/8″ fork and American Drivetrain bellhousing.
Big Block cylinder head gasket recommendations
A ’65 413 to be exact, should I find another steel shim (1851579) like it had or use a more modern type. The shim was thin coming in at .015 and bore is standard so that might limit my choices.
Clutch fork pivot, fork, and other components
Putting together a 413 with 4 speed for my ’63 D100 truck. I have the American Powertrain bell housing, 11″ flywheel, and pilot bushing for an un reamed crank. What pivot, fork and throw out bearing do I chose, looks like there’s some differences out there.
big block/4 speed new bee
Okay I got a 413 I’m installing in my ’63 D100, wanting a 4 speed 833, don’t need to retain factory crossmember and bell housing with mounts as leaf springs are getting replaced with IFS front suspension. So with that said, what bell housing can/should I use (found a 2892262), 10 1/2″ or 11″ clutch and I’m guessing a 833 with a input that fits said bell, my current 3 speed has shifter fitted on front of tail shaft (sits in front of bench seat) so shifter mounting area on 833….might be too…
413 rebuild piston question
On cleaning up my standard bore Oem pistons I noticed one that was a bit odd, same part #’s but no holes, drill them or leave be? What are they for oil?
