I think I am moving to 4-speed.
I need to figure out if I can use the existing slave cylinder.

As per Georg, yes I can!

No problem. Bolts, washers and nuts. You're welcome.

So 37110 is not a part of the bolt p/n?
Interesting...

Next up is stabbing the tranny and getting some measurements on the driveshafts.
If your H55 was made after a certain date in '85, there are some shoulders that will require that your F/2F bellhousing will need some clearance work.
From here:

I am running what I believe to be my original F bellhousing from Jan of '74.
Georg mentioned that they moved the clutch slave cylinder to passenger side in '75.
Maybe this moved as part of the 3FE swap? To clear the exhaust?

My H55 does have the shoulders that will require grinding on the bell housing to clearance.

At this point I’m thinking about pulling the bell housing out and going helicoil to restore the trans mounting threads.

 

[PabloCruise]

The shop that swapped in the 3FE used non-JIS 1.75 pitch fasteners to mount the transmission.
Sadness…

Ha ha, no.

4-speed/2F flywheel acquired! Much thanks to @Rzeppa of Rising Sun - it was good to see you!

Actually, QTY 2x 4-speed flywheels ended up coming home with me. I took them into the machine shop and we decided the one labeled "78 2F" had better looking teeth for the starter motor to engage, so that is the one I am going with.

 

[PabloCruise]

Both flywheels have the same p/n on the non-working side, but the one labeled as from a '78 has a 3 next to a mountain symbol, while the other one has a 2 next to the mountain:

 

[PabloCruise]

And, last fun fact for the day - a clutch disc from a 3-speed clutch fits the 4-speed pressure plate perfectly.

I don't think there is any difference in surface area between the two.

Wonder what that’s all aboot?

And, last fun fact for the day - a clutch disc from a 3-speed clutch fits the 4-speed pressure plate perfectly.

That is an interesting and useful piece of information

That flywheel looks like a great find!
