Hi guys! New to the forum, just bought my '79 Monte a few months ago!!! I'm far from a mechanic and am having my uncle and cousin do some work for me since they're far more experienced.
Having them drop in a sbc 350 and swap out the auto for a Muncie they pulled from a '60 something Corvette, along with the bellhousing, clutch and fork that came with it. They think this combo will work just fine in my car. On the other hand I have read that g-bodies need the g-body clutch fork because of a certain bend it supposedly has, or the clutch will burn out in a few weeks. Lookin for a third opinion here so we can hopefully make it work right the first time!
