[ihc] Rocky, 13" clutch!?

["Joel M Brodsky" <jmbrodsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rocky,
      Only as a cautionary note, I installed a 12" clutch in my 74 Scout
II, 345, T-19, and the pressure plate mounting bolts his the bellhousing
(or something).  Upon first startup after the 12", t19W, and Dana 300 swap,
the clutch didn't work correctly, and the pressure plate bolts are all
hitting something.
I highly doubt that you can get the 13" clutch in there, but I could be
wrong, it's happened before.

I'm thinking I have to go back to a 11" clutch  to eliminate any problems.

Joel
-not looking forward to pulling the motor/trans for the third time!

Subject: [ihc] 13" clutches ...I think it is possible

After a lot of time spent today comparing bellhousings and other tranny
parts and pieces...I think that I can put a 13" clutch in this truck I am
working on. The flywheel that was behind the 392 out of the t-all was
drilled for both 11 and 12 inch patterns but I have another 392 flywheel
off of a Loadstar that we parted out last year and it is drilled for a 13"
setup. Just one bolt pattern on it. The input shafts are the same on this
T34 and the direct 5th (unknown type) out of the big truck. I don't know if
there has been much talk of anything like this on here in the past and I am
still not 100% sure if it will work but given the known fact that IH used
the same engine and tranny components in the HD and light line, I think it
will work.
