Within 5000 miles, the plastic intake cracked, I had the tranny out twice...once to change a bad throwout bearing, and the second time to change the clutch. Not sure what even happened, but I was coasting in 1st with the clutch in, felt a jolt and then there was nothing else. I thought something broke in the tranny but was surprised to see that all the friction material for some reason flew off the disc. Put a new clutch in, 300 miles later It spun the rod bearings on the 2 rear rods. This on a Ford reman engine with 30k. Not sure why it'd do that. All this in addition to a bunch of other stuff that isn't worth mentioning...
You can see what's left of the old clutch and all the shiny specs are metal.
I think I had more problems with this thing in 5000 miles than I ever had with any other cars combined.
If anyone has a used 8 bolt crank and matching rods they'd like to get rid of, please let me know...
I think at this point I'm just going to get this thing running again and sell it.
