First off…Thank you to all of the Vets and Active Duty Military out there. We know you did it and do it for us, not for some political idiots. And as the father of a deployed Marine, believe me, it strikes close to home. Ooorahh Sgt. Michael Hutton! You better come home safe.
Anyway, I finally got new Mcleod flywheel, clutch and a Lakewood bellhousing all mounted on my 440, and got the block plate cutout right for my 132 tooth flywheel and MSD mini starter so it mounts up and meshes correctly.
However…new throwout bearing that came with clutch is too short for my setup. My clutch fork is well past parallel to flywheel when throwout bearing face is touching clutch fingers and that is not going to work. As this is my first foray into running a scattershield, I kind of expected this issue, but was hoping to not have it happen. But it did.
I did a lot of searching, and find all kinds of different length bearings for chevys and fords. Even adjustable length bearings with removable spacers or threaded to change bearing length. Mcleod instructions even mention various bearing lengths (in a generic way). But I see none on their site for a 23 spline Mopar.
So I decided to turn to my expert friends…..please help? Thank you!
