Default 39 trans with a lightened A flywheel?

Hi,

Is ok to run a 39 trans conversion with the lightened A flywheel/V8 clutch? The Macs catalog implies you need to run the stock A trans?

Thanks for any help!

Tom

Tom,
I have a '39 trans with lightened flywhl and V8 chev pressure plate/disc, attached to a B engine. Runs nice/strong. You can get the 'kit' to do the change from Sacramento Vintage Ford and others I'm sure.
