Antonio,
I think you have the original1953 flywheel on your 1957 engine. If the
engine came out of a car it was probably an automatic. If flywheel has 9
bolt holes you should get the larger clutch. If only 6 mounting bolts to
clutch cover (I think not) it is the smaller clutch. there is a date code on
flywheel, and remember your ring gear is specific to 6 or 12 volt starter,
but 6 v starter works fine on 12 v. the 9 bolt clutch cover was last used in
1953.

Working on installing a new clutch in my engine. The engine in question
is a '57 235 engine out of a car. I removed the clutch disk and noticed
that the clutch disk is only 9 1/4" diameter, however the pressure plate
is 10 1/8" diameter. What is the correct clutch size for this engine 9
1/4" or 10". I had another engine and the clutch disk was 10" diameter
this is why I wonder is 10" is better for this engine? The engine is
going to be installed on my '53 1/2 ton truck, >>
