B18 - B20 Transplant 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be JB on  Sun Nov 3 11:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I want to change my 1963 B18A to a 1974 B20A.
The B20 flywheel has 8 boltholes, will the B18 clutch fit?
Will the B18 generator fit the B20? Or do I have to get an alternator?
Will the B18 distributor fit the B20?

Thankfull for your quick response
JB

The clutch should fit fine...though I would at least replace the disc, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing as long as you have it apart. The distributor should also work fine.

Not sure though if the '74 has the tapped holes for the generator bracket. My guess is that it doesn't, so you will probably have to go with an alternator. Not sure about that though...

Wait...what am I thinking? I've got a '74 or '75 B20 in the garage. And it does have at least one or two tapped holes where the gen bracket would bolt up.. so you might be OK across the board.
