66 Clutch Linkage Bellcrank

[Bushman66]

Still working on the 292 I6 to 350 V8 swap. I have all the parts to rebuild the bellcrank (felt washers, plastic cups, etc).

Next question:

I have the stock bellcrank from the 292 / factory 4 speed, I'm assuming this will work with the V8? I also have the engine side bracket that spans the 2 large holes with the integral ball stud off of a 71 C10. On the 66 swap, will I use this bracket/ballstud combo, or will the ball stud screw directly into one of the 2 threaded holes in the block? If so, which hole, the front or rear?

Thanks!

Yes you will use the same bellcrank. No you will not use the bracket with ballstud from the 292. You need a ball stud with threads to install into the forward hole in the 350 block. This is assuming that you have installed the small block in the correct rear location.

Thanks Cap! I do have the threaded ball stud and I'll install in the front hole in place of the ballstud and bracket I took off the 71 307 V8.
