Small block vs big block Toploader 4 speed?
I have a small block 289 with ~310 hp in a 73 Mustang, I had to replace my toploader. I am purchasing a big input/output toploader from a 427 Ford Truck. I already have an 11" clutch, other than the clutch disk what else do I need to replace to have this bolt right on?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Could be wrong, but I don't believe you can use an 11" clutch with a smallblock bellhousing. IIRC, everything else will be ok as long as you use a conversion pilot bushing, available from several Mustang wherehouses.
Why do you have a 289 in a '73? Are you sure it's a toploader?
The input/output shafts will be different between the small-block and big-block. The trans-mount is unique for the 4-speed '71-'73 cars. The tailhousing is unique to the Mustang. A Ford truck with a toploader? 427? FE? Pics?
