Seems like a common question asked, but I'd prefer not to break the bank on this project. So I wanted to check with yall on my parts list and see if you guys could double check me. Swapping the old sm465 for the later model 1997 nv4500. The bellhousing off the 97 seems to match my engine block. I'll have to swap to internal slave... Long story short, wondering if my 86 clutch cylinder will power enough fluid for the 97 slave, I was told 454 flywheels are externally ballanced. Can I get by with the same 86 clutch or will a new 97 one match up? I'm just curious if anyone has done this just swapping parts and bellhousings. Not spending a grand at AA. Thanks for any input you guys can give me.
