![]() ![]() the 05 disk and plate should be a better designed match for the 05 flywheel, and hopefully grip better.Īnother note = I assume both the RAM flywheel and the 1050 flywheel are 168 tooth. If I can afford it, I'd like to buy a 05 clutch and use that. It does feel silly to be using a 1987 clutch set on a 05 flywheel. Thus, it should fit fine with a LS engine, a 05 flywheel, and a 1987 12" clutch and pressure plate. Considering the nv4500 was designed as a drop-in replacement for the sm465, It should fit over the same clutch and flywheel designed for the sm465. I've now found an early nv4500 that I intend to use instead. That's all been a year ago, and it's just been sitting. The only other tweaking needed on this above setup, would be an adjustable pivot ball, to move the throwout bearing 1/8" closer to the engine. It may have a little, but it wouldn't have mattered enough that I remember it. I don't remember being concerned about the pressure plate overhanging the edge of that 05 flywheel. I did not actually stab the sm465 into the thing, but I'm sure it would have worked. The hydraulic bell installed fine as well. I pulled the dowel pins out of the flywheel face, reamed three of the bolt holes on my old pressure plate, and bolted the clutch and pressure plate(see link above) to that '05 flywheel. I used a '05 stock flywheel, which bolted up fine to my LS engine. I purchased my LS engine(2010 5.3), and mocked it up with the sm465, hydraulic bell, and all clutch parts mentioned above. ![]() My clutch disk measured 11-7/8" in diameter. Link to the exact clutch disk and pressure plate I used. Everything worked fine, but the engine was nearly dead. At the same time, I installed a stock replacement flywheel from a local parts store. A friend had told me the RAM clutches were superior to the parts-store variety. I replaced the clutch a couple years ago with a RAM OE replacement clutch disk and pressure plate. I've had a stock '87 350 tbi with a sm465 and hydraulic bell. I'll start at the beginning of what I've tried. Plus the pressure plate fingers aren't quite long enough using the NFW1050 for some reason.īelieve me, I wish the NFW1050 would work the same as the Ram 1550x, especially since it's 1/4 the price through RockAuto. I have had both the Ram 1550 and the NFW1050 side by side and the 12" earlier clutch overhangs the edge on the NFW1050 flywheel made for a 11" clutch. ![]()
