Yes it has been done. A buddy used to run an Ranger with that set-up. And I have a Ranger/buggy with that set-up, is a hydraulic clutch set-up. But i do not have any pics :rolleyes2:

Does it make a difference... the motor is a 302 (1972) and the tranny and transfer case is from a 1977 f 150.. so would a bell housing from a 300 6 interchange..? just tryin to figure stuff out.. thank you for all your help so far...

you need a 164 tooth 28oz flywheel. did the 77 motor have a std. or automatic tranny on it?? gonna need a piliot bushing if it had a auto on it.
