I've stored away my original 289 A-code and I had a 1987 5.0 H.O. built that I wish to install into my 1966 GT. Firstly, I know I need a 50 ounce externally balanced flywheel (157 tooth) to go with the matching harmonic balancer. All I read about is a 10 1/2" clutch for these motors, where the 289 had a 10" unit. It appears the splines on these 10 1/2" clutches are identical to the input shaft for the T-10, so no problem there (I think). Please confirm. I'm assuming the T-10 bellhousing can accomodate the slightly larger clutch housing? Now, what's the story with the throw-out bearing and my existing clutch fork? It appears (from catalog pictures) the "diaphragm" type clutch kits (multiple fingers) use a different-looking throw-out bearing compared to the original stock. Therefore, what type of clutch fork must I install to work with this new style throw-out bearing? And I thought this would be a simple swap! Thanks for your help!
