Always a pleasure you warm up an exisiting thread.
I actually look for a hydr TO bearing inside the bellhousing for my 460 with toploader combo.

used clutch is McLeod, number I have to check, but maximum height of the TO bearing assy should be 1 3/8", which takes 1/8" of clutch wear into account.

I used Tilton's version in 1993 and they leaked like garfield's dog.
the o-ring seals of the swivel fitting didn't seal.

was a pain to find out, but here is what I did:

I eliminated the O-ring version and used a banjo fitting with copper rings instead with an allen head (fabricated).

notch the bellhousing at your 6 and 12 o'clock position to insert the now bulkier assembly.
drill holes in the bellhousing top and bottom to insert a long allen key to fasten the banjo fittings.

they need to swivel to be able to slide in the TO bearing with transmission into the bellhousing.
tighten allen heads once trans is bolted to bellhousing.

good luck!

but who knows which hydr TO bearing will work for me?
I heard a modofied SAAB 900 turbo's may do the trick.
