Hey all,
Been gathering parts to swap out the th350 for a Muncie in my 72 skylark 350-2. I have a lot of questions before I do the swap in another week. And as you know, working on a Buick isn’t the same as working on a Chevy, and there just isn’t the same information out there. Hopefully you all can help me out.
First question: is there a shifter hump? I’ve only been able to find a few photos of skylarks with hurst shifters. I have seen photos in which the shift boot contours to the standard hump. But I’m not sure. I don’t have a console. Will the linkage clear the hump without installing a new shift hump? What shifter boot is required?
second: I am having a hard time finding the correct clutch linkage. it looks like the parts place has a clutch linkage kit for a 70-72 Buick. Is the clutch linkage really that much different than for a Chevelle? The price is about 2x the amount, So just wondering what the differences are...
aside from that... research suggests a 66tooth flywheel and a 10.5” clutch. does that sound right? I’ll also need a new starter.
hurst shifter should be here this week. Just trying to find the right info to go and order the rest of the parts.
many thanks,
-Ryan
