What car/truck has an 11" clutch? I plan on doing a t5 swap after I get the 292 in and want to have the 11" flywheel in so I won't have to worry about it later. The clutch that Mummert has for the t5 conversion is 11" so I might as well plan ahead and put that in place now.

I got my bell housing dug out. It has the casting numbers AJ-6394-C . Will this work on my 3 speed overdrive?

I am on my third year with the Champion with no issues.

Looks like the swap is in order. I had a compression check done on the 6 and it was not good and I also think it has a valve issue. I am going to try to gather everything up and do the swap this fall or winter. What bell housing do I need? I have one and will get the numbers off of it tomorrow and post here to make sure. Has anyone here used a Champion radiator? I seen one on Ebay and it was about half as much as a replacement type. Also does anyone have a set of duel exhaust manifolds they would like to part with?

Clifford Performance is still around:

http://www.cliffordperformance.net/

back in the 70's my brothers and I raced C stock class at the local stock car track that was inline 6s,the 223 that we ran was really fast. back then we got speed parts for them at "Clifford research  6=8" don't know if the are still in business or not.those cars were pretty impressive and didn't cost a lot to race, I know the scruby guys put a 292 ci limit on the engines so they could race their 292 sixes but ford guys couldn't race the 300,it didn't matter,the 223 fords dominated the class.love my y blocks,but a flatty or a hopped up 6 is still very cool!

That idea has been rolling around in my head. I do like the idea of having something different. I am just trying to weigh my options. I am going to ditch the load o matic dizzy and carb soon so if it perks up I may add a 2x1 and a header. The 292 I have is for my unibody project and it won't be done anytime soon. I hate to let it sit for so long and thought the wagon would be a good candidate for it. I actually have most of the parts to do the conversion but still need some of the big things like radiator, etc.

Have you looked into warming up that 223? With a little work they can provide a little performance plus they clean up real nice. Valve covers and other aftermarket parts show up on EBAY for sale occasionally. The build would probably be cheaper and you would have something original AND different. Chuck

I think you will need the car pan with the front sump to clear the mount tube, the truck doesn't have that mount, so they use a different pan. And using the car pan will require a car pick up tube. And if it has the truck timing cover, it will possibly need changing too, some trucks had the dip stick in the pan, cars were in the timing cover.
