    ta performance has flywheels, just about anyone has the clutch/pressure plate. About the only thing to remember is you have a 26 spline input shaft. I put a Super t-10 (if you have the original,...

    I guess I wonder at why we'd consider that scary.... after all, disk brakes are external brakes as well (albeit different clamping direction).

    Casting these days is really easy with 3D printers.... print out your parts for the mold 1/8" per foot larger, and put that form in a mold. As for air bubbles, you have similar issues when you weld...

    I have a 1970 Buick Skylark with a 71 455. It has a low oil pressure problem. The 455 and 350 have the same basic oil system so the issue and fixes are really the same.
