C4 to single rail conversion on 302w

[Unlucky8Ball 6]

Hi all,

 

Got a C4 behind a 302 Windsor in an XP that's playing up, and want to swap it out for a single rail 4spd.

 

I've heard that that the Clevo bellhousing fits a Windsor, can I use the whole lot from a donor car including the flywheel and everything? Do I need a different trans crossmember, and did any single rails for V8 come with a cable clutch?

 

Cheers

Are you running an early or late windsor?

[Unlucky8Ball 6]

It came out of an XT I think, that makes it early?

Post 86 use different balance weights on the flex plate and balancer

Didn't the single rail in the v8 work off a Hydraulic clutch?

The 6 was cable the v8 was hydraulic.

No Aussie V8s had cable. Only Fox mustangs had cable and V8.

 

With the Clevo bell, you'll need 64 tooth flywheel, clutch pivot, mechanical pedal and all linkages, mechanical fork (not hydraulic).

I was just about to say that

Thanks for the help and the correction about the cable clutch.

It looks like some people have fitted a later Falcon clutch master cylinder to XPs, so will look into that.

Any idea about gearbox crossmember location and tailshaft length?

The cross member location & tailshaft will be identical to that of the C4.

6 bolt clevo/Windsor bellhousing are interchangeable. 164 tooth flywheel this 28oz balance.

if your good at fabrication, mounting a clutch master won't be hard, but I would reinforce the firewall in that area to eliminate flex cracking.
