    My 55 olds motor is in the machine shop. I have gathered up just about everything I need to drop it into my 46. [I am bolting it to the original transmission]. I have an original Olds steel flywheel and an aluminum one, What clutch assembly should I use, and where should I go for a pilot bushing? Thanks Rich

    Steel. Light flywheel, heavy car in traffic is a pain ... ask Cyclone Kevin about a pilot.
     
  3. Rich, Pilot may be found at NAPA or from Tony at Ross Racing Good question on the clutch! Might need one of those early Merc units that we used back in the day when installing SBC's. The Olds may be different though but I bet someone will jump in here with the correct info.
