Ok...

So in my Coupe, I'm running an 8BA truck motor with a 51 Ford Car Bellhousing and a mid Sixties Ford Threespeed.

The bellhousing that I got is empty minus the arm... so I have a General idea of what I need to find... but I was hoping you guys could inform me of what all it consisted of....and how it fits into the bellhousing.

The motor had a 39 ford toploader w/ clutch on it..... can I use that same clutch assembely?

I would really appreciate the help, as always

Well, I don't have any experience with the late model three speeds so I won't open my mouth and confuse you. But I think I have a clutch arm and related bits if you end up needing it. Your car is rad - I'd be glad to help if I've got what you need.

Call me little one. I got your answers.

How come your not in school?

You need to use the flathead preasure plate, and the clutch disc, throw out bearing, and clutch arm from the later tranny.

If the spline for the disc you have is the same as the tranny spline it will work no problem. Understand?

If not call me and I'll set you straight.
