351-C Drive Train Changes

Last edited Jan. 29, 2004


Numerous parts of the drive train have to change. Most of the ones from the 6 cylinder are simply too weak. The flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, bell housing, driveshaft and differential have to go! The only part that MIGHT be reusable is the transmission. If you have a top-loader (probably a 3 speed) you can reuse it, the tailpiece and the shifter. However, if you are unhappy with only 3 speeds, then you need a new tranny too. Just be careful, the Dagenham 3 speed transmission won't fit. The links to the left will help you get all this figured out.
