Just thinking about a possible swap. I've got a 65 Belvedere with S6 / 3 spd on the column. What parts would I need to convert to v8 (SB or BB) with a 4 or 5 spd. tranny.

Parts that I have:

rebuilt 69 440. rebuilt 78 360. V8 Kframe. Full disk brake set up (slider type).

What do I need? thanks...
 
Clutch pedal ***., drive shaft, radiator, just to name a few.
 
Since I'm swapping from an auto to manual, I can tell what you need for the tranny. Sorry, I hope to know every English word...I'm Dutch so...here we go:

- flywheel (143 teeth, 11")
- friction plate (incl. bolts)
- preasuregroup (incl. bolts)
- throwout bearing
- BB bellhousing that fits your input bearing retainer and flywheel (incl. bellh to engine bolts)
- matching clutchfork, pivot and boot
- transmission (crashbox + b-body tail)
- shifter (hurst?)
- shifter handle

That's about it from the engine to the driveshaft. You may want to check your driveshaft length too.

Then there's the pedal assembly (as stated by 5.7 hemi) that includes the Z-bar too. Do not forget to order the ballstud that matches your bellhousing.

...and guys, please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something!

Good luck!
