65 Barracuda, 318 .030 over bored, balanced, KB167 pistons, block decked to 0, ported 302s with 1.88 intakes and 1.66 exhaust, 340 like cam, Doug's 450 headers, LD4b intake, 650 CFM edelbrock (double pumper being rebuilt), 4 spd, 3.73 rear end.

I'm dropping the engine in a week to replace the Kmember - we've got an original 65 flywheel and 9 1/2 " scalloped pressure plate and 65 bell housing, should I install a 10.5 inch clutch while the engine is out? I've got a spare original flywheel and 3 finger pressure plate as back up but wondering since it's all going to be on a dolly this would be the time to upgrade. what do I need to swap other than the flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate? would I need a different bellhousing? This car hasn't been on the road yet but I'm thinking that it's got enough torque that the smaller clutch disc won't last long.

I'll give you a I'm not so sure a later bellhousing that will hold a 10 1/2 inch clutch will work with your headers.I had a 4 spd 65 Cuda years ago, and tried to do that upgrade. The linkage was off by a mile, so I gave up on that idea. Somebody was bugging me to death to buy it, so I sold it before I ever got the bigger clutch deal figured out. Good luck

Tough, question. I didn't, but at the time there wasn't much out there as far as after market. But, Brewers can help you with stuff to do this. I would just for ease of buying parts. I never have found a dust cover for the little bell housing. I managed to get a 10 in clutch in mine, but still if I could do it over.............
