After living in the automatic transmission world for so long, I need some advice on "rowing" gears, with a T5 going behind my 292. The short block is at the machinist, and he wants my pressure plate and flywheel for balancing. I have a flywheel off my 230 and I think it has 7/16 crank holes, and a 10.5 inch clutch. I'm sure my 292 crank has 1/2 crank bolt. So I will need a new pressure plate, right? I wouldn't think you could drill out the holes acurrately enough as a field repair.
Is 10.5 inch big enough, or should I go 11 inch clutch? I'm not racing, just strong street- maybe 250-280 HP.
Advice ???? Hays?? or other brands??
