A833 + clutch question : 68 318 engine

Why would they need the clutch? When I had my 340's rotating assembly balanced (external balance, not internal like your 318 ), they needed the harmonic balancer, crankshaft, flywheel, pistons, wrist pins, rings, rods, and bearings. No clutch.

First step is to get the flywheel. 318's use a neutral balance 130 tooth flywheel. This is what I use on my 340 but it would work on a 318 too, you just have to remove the bolt-on weight: http://store.440source.com/1045-Billet-Steel-Flywheel-New/productinfo/113-1014/ Zoom makes a flywheel that will work and it's about $80, but it's more of a stock replacement. I'd rather not have my foot chopped off if it failed, hence the 440Source billet steel flywheel. While I had my cheap Zoom flywheel behind my 318, it was fine. I just wouldn't trust it in a "performance" application. Your choice though: Cheap or Good. Pick one and drive accordingly.

As for the clutch, at your HP level, I'd consider a McLeod Street Pro clutch kit. They're affordable and I have had good luck with them. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mcl-75109/overview/make/dodge You'll need a 23 spline, 10.5" clutch. Unless you have an 18 spline transmission, which is unlikely. Double check though just to be sure. My McLeod held my 318's power just fine.

Your crankshaft might not be drilled for a pilot bushing, my '68 318 wasn't, so you might need a needle bearing instead. Off the top of my head I think the National part number is #FC-69907. It's like $15 at O'Reilly's and will save you a lot of headaches.

Hope this helped. Good luck and enjoy that third pedal!
