What bellhousing?

[glenn]

If you are using a hydraulic clutch setup with a chevy bellhousing Novak makes a pretty sweet setup that bolts to the outside of the bellhousing to hold the slave cylinder. Does away with the internal design. You could also find parts off of a mid 80's chevy, they used a hydraulic setup with external slave on the drivers side. My 86 dually 4x4 is that way. I put a nv4500 in it to replace the sm465 4 speed and used AA stuff. Bellhousing, clutch, slave bracket etc.

I'm not sure if you could get the 4500 behind the 6.2L, but you could with the 6.5L and they should have the same bell housing. If not High Impact has the bell housings for $275.

I don't believe that the 6.2 and 6.5 differ where the bellhousing mounts...

Since you don't haver the front axle yet, I was gonna suggest going with a Ford D60--But then you allready have the GM divorced 205 so nevermind. Are you certain there is no adjustment left in the clutch? Seems like maybe a modification to your existing set up should be doable--but then I'm not there looking at it either. just a thought.

Yep, the 205 setup with e-btake is sweet so I need a passenger drop Dana 60. Sad part is I have a Dodge 60 that is in great condition. They are just a little too narrow, fom everything I have read, to work on the M715.

We climbed under it last night and the answer is "maybe", may also have to make up a new/longer rod. Obviously I would prefer not to have to spend the $$ and time to replace what I have. Replacing the Lakewood was based on Tom's input/comments when I bought the truck from him. Going to dig a little deeper on this to make sure I really need to make the swap.

Let's have a tech meeting in VA. I'll bring the proper BH.
