    I am trying to get my hands on a new or even used T-98 throw out bearing. I am working with a T-98 from an M-715 in which I never had the throw out bearing to work with. I am mating a '74 258 to this T-98 via a T-14 bellhousing and 1 inch homemade adapter, and dropping it into an old mail jeep. I have it all in the works just need to get a throw out bearing and make a hydrolic clutch set set up for it. I was thinking about using an old single servo brake master cyl. that I already have and just buying a slave cyl. for a mid 80's CJ to use for the hydro set up. What do you guys think? From what I have read I will need a new clutch disc as the T-14 input shaft is slightly larger than the T-98 input shaft. Any help with part number for the throw out bearing would be greatly apprecieated.

    the M-715 would have had a 230 OHC I believe.
    so a throwout bearing and collar sleeve from an old 63 64 65 etc Wagoneer or Jeep Truck with the 230 OHC in it should work I believe.
    The set-up is similar in design to an F4 bearing and sleeve, only hydraulic.
    Am I understanding you correctly ?

    Yep, I believe your application is correct. I had forgotten that the early J-trucks and wagons also used the 230. I just have to have a hydrolic set up because the clutch pedal will be on the "wrong" side of the cab being as it is a mail truck. No provision for just adding the factory mechanical pedal and linkage since you are operating the truck from the opposite side of the cab. I have seen just a few bellhousings in pictures with a fork on the right hand side, but only in pics and never in person. I just figured it would be easier and quicker to gather the hydrolic parts. Thanks for your input, Chris.
