Good morning! My Dad has a 78 460 and a C6 auto for a swap. He's been toying with the idea of putting a toploader in the car vs the C6. I think the RUG AR 1 was matched to 351s back in the day. Wondering thoughts on what may be required to bolt it up (bellhousing, flywheel, clutch etc). Thank you!

I used a truck aluminum bellhousing, a centerforce flywheel, a centerforce dual friction clutch, and a hydraulic throwout setup to fit my small block Toploader to my 460

Thanks! Any specific IDs on the bellhousing etc?

any issue with bearing retainer indexing hole? or are they all the same?

IMHO ...a toploader will not handle the 460's torque for very long. But... if you have the parts and the time,👍.
