Gary,

The McLeod hydraulic throw out bearing works really nice. We do not use the slave cylinder and clutch fork as IT DOES NOT FIT AND SUCKS TO MAKE WORK RIGHT. You have to cut up the bell housing and it isn't pretty.

The bell housing will have to be cut to fit into an original frame if you use a Lakewood. I would be happy to send you templates of what we use to make them fit if you would like.

I have warned several customers against using the clutch fork set up and I don't know any who are happy with it. I don't know of any customers who are unhappy with the McLeod unit. We have had one in our original car for almost 10 year now.

This McLeod combination works.
If you use a flywheel 563210
Throw out bearing 1305 with a 2.9 distance
pressure plate 360821M
clutch 260863

(These part numbers are for a big input splined toploader and a 427 FE--anything else and you would have to call them.)

McLeod is the greatest. McLeod's phone number 714.630.2764
