Hey Everyone,

I have a 1985 Dodge Ram 100 with a Slant Six and a 4 speed. I plan on putting a 318 into it. I already have the bellhousing and the flywheel to do the conversion. Im wondering though if I will be able to still use the Clutch Fork and everything thats still on the truck now.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I'm not sure on the fork. I went from scant 6 to a big block /A-833 4spd. Had a cast iron bell, 11.5' clutch, not sure what the bell came out of. The /6 ball mnt on the frame doesn't line up with my bellhousing ball. Used the /6 bell offset bracket, attached at ball hole on the bell[Which has a bastard size 9/16'thread],welded a leg on it that rests on the bell to keep it from flexing or turning. Also had to lengthen lower arm of bell crank to line up with fork. A small blk shuvee rocker arm pivot makes a good adjuster pivot on the fork. Only good part on a shuvee.Ifthings don't line up with your smallblock,probably would be alot less headache to just get the factory V-8 parts. [Unless your cheap like me]
