anyone ever use this setup on 273?
Mine had Special Scalloped Bolts... not the same Clutch tho. (Borg and Beck 3 Finger)
This was a 10" Upgrade from the Stock 9 1/2" for a '65 273

Yup, you're going to need those bolts. Even if you drill out your pressure plate, you won't have enough room to get a socket on those bolt heads.
They were in a kit that used to come from Brewers.
Heres the 3/8" Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists
and the 5/16" Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists

picture 1- factory flywheel with bolts for 10 inch clutch aftermarket. ram powergrip clutch bolt pattern will not fit factory flywheel. factory takes 5/16 bolts
picture 2- ram clutch and ram flywheel installed after drilling pressure plate for factory 3/8 pressure plate bolts. ram flywheel takes 3/8 bolts
3- restored every nut and bolt from engine to rearend.
i used this setup so i could install dana 60 3.54 did not trust aftermarket 10 in and china clutch with this setup
everything works perfect ,clutch pedal returns perfect and smooth.

So, the simple solution was to just drill out the holes and a socket fits fine?
