Guest Bulldog55 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello, I'm currently gathering parts and a list to drop a 318 with r154 (toyota trans) in a 77 280. I've looked at the info here and other sites but have just a couple of questions that I can't seem to answer. As far as I can tell I can source the bell houseing from a 94-99 dakota this will bolt the trans to block. Per my understanding I can also use the clutch fork from an early model or a late model hydrolic throwout bearing. Making the driveshaft is no prob. But the Flywheel and clutch pkg. What flywheel and clutch pkg due I use? Has anyone else done the resurch, or thought this would be a good swap and found the answers. Thanks.

Guest Bulldog55 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Would there be any issues with redrilling and tapping the stock 318 flywheel (11" pressure plate) to the smaller supra p-plate 9.5"? As long as it is redrilled properly centered. I don't see any issues. just wanted to bounce off others for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4seat74 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I've been looking into that combo for a swap into my 74. I believe, but I'm not certain that, you can take the ax-15 geartrain, and use the r-154 mainshaft and tailhousing and blend the two. I know ax-5 and g-52 stuff can swap, not positive on the big brothers. So I think that would solve the flywheel clutch problems. Edit: Sounds like with the 94-99 bell housing, custom friction plate(Otts Friction supply?) and an extended pilot bushing(advanced adapters). Then you'd have the benefit of the 11 inch clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
