We're working on a '76 Trans Am restoration. It's a 4 speed car in which we're putting a '73 455 engine. A few questions came up when ordering parts from Ames.

First, the Borg Warner Super T10 we have has 26 splines on the input shaft, 32 splines on the output shaft. Ames catalog only goes up to '74, when Muncie was the only manual trans. Therefore, the clutch kits do not have the correct spline count. Do we just order an aftermarket 26 spline 11" clutch disc?

Second, there is no info on the air cleaner for the shaker hood. We need nearly all the pieces to assemble the air cleaner, scoop, PCV plumbing, etc. for the stock Quadrajet. Any ideas?

Third, is the stock '73 455 crank be machined to accept the pilot bearing for the Super T-10? The engine was in a TH400 Grandville.

Last, the replacement blower motor for the heater is much larger than the original one in the chassis. It looks like it will mount OK, but what do we do with the hole in the motor case for motor cooling.
