Tech Question-T/5 Install 65

coolhand · January 25th, 2008, 06:02 PM

Hello Gang, Question for you.

Installing t-5 in 65, I am using a 351 roller block that has no boss
for clutch..So I bouth a Modern Drive -www.moderndriveline.com
clutch cable kit and a pony car adapter plate.

Now here is where it gets good..per the install
instructions I should thread the clutch cable through bellhousing mounting hole

There is no hole on a 65 bellhousing

it also pushes and this kit
pulls? So do I get another housing that pulls? the drawings show a 65 ?
Have I been in the garage to long?

Thanks in advance

Early 65s could have come with a 5 bolt bellhousing. The 4 bolt style was a mid year change. The 5 bolt bellhousing is somewhat rare so don't pitch it, but it sounds like you will have to switch out the bellhousing to the late 4 bolt style. Hope this helps.

i used a late 6 bolt bell and it worked perfect.

You are correct, My bad, I should have said 6 bolt, not 4 bolt.

Thanks guys, Im going to return the cable and put a bracket on the
bellhousing to use the OEM rod..

You could also just use the stock t-5 bell housing.Then the cable system will work.I've installed t-5's in 66-69 with 298's 351W's and 351C's. It's no big deal
