sm465 conversion

Looking to put a sm465/np205 in place of my 400/205. my cab is a 64gmc sitting on a 84 k10.Plan on getting capt fab parts for the cab components. I have a newer 383 so I'll need a weighted flywheel. I know AA has kits for the clutch slave But I also have a 65 c60 and a 66 c20 with hyd clutch. Can I use the slave components off of one of them?

nevermind. The 66 is mechanical and the 65 has nothing that I can use

Double check that your 383 isn't internally balanced. My 400 scat crank is.

As far as your swap goes. Get the frame bracket and z bar for a square body and pedal assembly for a 60s truck. Then you will only need to fab the linkage between the pedal and z bar. The 60s hydraulics would probably run the hydraulics on a squarebody hydraulic clutch but those bellhousings are unique. The lines and slave cylinder for an 86 1 ton should get you a cast cylinder.

Thanks. yeah I'm not using anything off that c60. Gonna just go manual clutch. I need to find a square with a stick to scavenge some parts off. Just got the trans and tc home. gotta pull it apart to twin stick before I get to far ahead of myself

Classic parts used to sell the z bars. Frame side is nothing more than a chunk of angle.
