I have been tearing things down for inspection and trying to figure out what I have. I found no numbers on the clutch assembly, but there are 9 bolts to hold the plate to the flywheel. I also do not know exactly what engine I have (other than it is a "reman"). The clutch is an 11". It was in a 1947 3600, but is not original... Any help would be appreciated. (the onlt engine number I have is from the boss by the distributor: KBA733764)

The first three digits of the engine serial number that you see stamped on the pad by the distributor decodes it to a '52 Series 3100 216ci Truck Engine. See: Early Chevy Engine Serial Number ID. Based on your other post, the head is from a bit later model, '54-55 235 truck engine.

I can't help with clutch info, but I'm sure others can.

My understanding is that if you have a flywheel that will accept an 11 inch clutch plate, you have the heavy duty clutch set up. I have never actually seen one of those flywheels but I also understand that those set ups take a somewhat unusual pressure plate, which your post seems to confirm. If you are having trouble replacing the clutch or pressure plate, you might consider having your current parts rebuilt. HR Clutch in Bensalem pa still rebuilds these kinds of parts.

Old school shop, reliable advice, can rebuild those parts good as new.
