All Small Six T5 swap on 1983 3.3 200

[marquis83]

Got my car running again. Was wondering if any of the gurus here know what pilot bearing, flywheel and clutch work for a t5 swap on an 83 200.
I tried searching and didn't find any results. I have a transmission and v8 bellhousing already. Also got a pedal assembly from a foxbody mustang. From what I understand 4/6 bolts should line up for this.

I used pilot bushing PB50F and flywheel and clutch from modern drivelines.

Modern Driveline has a flywheel with the diameter to fit a SBF bellhousing, and the bolt pattern to fit the 200 crank flange. The 200 has a smaller crank flange than the 250/SBF.

Here's the flywheel you need for the low mount starter 200:

Odds are the 78 Fairmont clutch kit from Rock Auto has the correct clutch and pilot. The one I bought came with 2 pilots. I’m running a 92 Fox Body T5 on my 66 Mustang 200. It’s a 9” clutch with the diaphragm type pressure plate.

400 is more than I wanted to pay to do this.

The clutch is in stock for $80. Unfortunately i'm not seeing a flywheel on rockauto.

Is that the right flywheel for your engine? Maybe they switched to a 157 tooth flywheel in the late 70? The ones for the older engines like my 66 with a 9" clutch are a 136 tooth flywheel. It can be had for about $100 less at MDL.

You should be able to find a uses a flywheel from the wreckers. Just make sure the tooth count is correct and it's for a 9" clutch. Then it's just a matter of having a shop surface it. It's like a 15-20 minute job for most shops.
