Oh man that worries me. I know the engine in the car now is NOT the original and I have no idea what it's out of or if the crank is drilled for a pilot bearing. This was my brother's car and he passed away - I have no way of knowing what's there without pulling the TH400 and looking. What a colossal waste of time if it's not drilled.

Is there a particular flywheel I need to spec out, or just look one up for a 67? Did they have different diameter clutches in 67?
Thanks for all the info, guys. I'm assuming if I keep my current driveshaft there will be enough room on the slip to make up for 1/4" difference?
As far as the yoke, what will I need to source? Just a yoke from a manual trans car? What is different about the automatic yoke?
Also, has anyone used this kit or stuff from this company before? I know "OEM is best" and all but this kit would eliminate a lot of headaches for a decent price.

Also thanks for the info on the Muncie. I am currently scouring my local Facebook marketplace for one. They seem pretty common, all of them seem to go for around 850-1200.
