    For my 26T project, I am running a 272 Y block with a T5. To adapt the trans, I have an NOS Offy Y block to flathead trans adapter along with a new Offy flathead to T5 adapter from Speedway.

    The new adapter uses the original Ford clutch linkage. So my question is what size clutch should I use, 9", 10" or 11"?

    I may upgrade to a 312 someday if that means anything...

    Here is a quick pic...

    What spline is the trans? Sometimes that makes a problem..

    The T5 came from a very early 93 S10 and it has 14 splines. My real question is what is the right diameter clutch to run?
