Chevy Gearbox

Hi all,

As i'm at a point in my build and i've lost some enthusiasm i decided to watch a car is born. On there it states that you cant use a chevy g/box on a cable. Is this true or do i need to see ken at AK and get one of his ?

Any help is appreiciated as always

RE: Chevy Gearbox

I have a genuine cable clutch bellhousing for a Chevy, with fork and pivot ball.
It's yours for £50 if you want it.
For details ring me on 07785 702005.

RE: Chevy Gearbox

I've not had a great deal of experience or luck with cable clutches on Chevy engines. All i found was that a hydraulic clutch can sometimes be rather heavy and a cable one is probably going to be about 25% heavier due to the friction of the cable, i think some of the Chevy powered Sumo guys would be the best people to reply.
