looks like a great project, though myself if i had a tri-power 390 in my truck that ran and looked that good i am not sure i would want to go thru all the work of swaping it for a 302.either way though still very nice.

i noticed in the 64s engine compartment on the firewall the hydraulic clutch mc.is this a Canadian or Mercury thing or did you install it yourself for a particular reason?

I use a mcloud hydralic throw out bearing and use the single master cylinder to operate the bearing expensive set up but worth every dime

what you are saying is instead of the hydraulic pressure being used to move the linkage,instead you bypass that and the fluid operates the bearing?
i would like to see a pic of that.throwout bearings and the rods and arm are a pain to mess with in the cold and the grease is cold too so the bearing might not spin right....never cared for the ford hydraulic clutch bit this sounds like a better deal.

iceman you nailed it right on the head my truck is a 64 with 66 i beam installed to much agrivation to try and make linkages work this bearing is made specicically for the ford toploader and works amazing my 5 year old can push the clutch in and out centerforce II clutch and pressure plate i just ordered a 3rd generation camaro hydralic bearing off e bay as it looks simalir to the mcloud bearing to see if i can make this work mcloud bearing is just under 400.00 camaro bearing 55.00 off e bay i'll let you guys know how i make out these bearings make easy swaps into any vehicle
