Great work so far.It does look like you're making progress fast.I like that.You also appear to be having a good time doing it.Do you have any help or are you working alone?I do most all of my work on my own.
Thankyou, I don't know if I'd call it a "good time" lol. I just wanna get it done, and I'm tired of spending so much time on it but it'll be worth it in the end I guess...
And I'm working all alone. I had a friend help me pull the engine but him and I are fighting now I guess.... I have another friend who helps me for like 5 minutes on stuff that requires a lot of muscle (like carry the block to the car and from the car to the machine shop lol), but like 95% of everything I do by myself
and you are sure that flywheel is the proper tooth count? I'm just bringing these things up because these are the exact issues we face when we put these cars together. Something like this is just what will bite you in the rear when you go to fire it up for the first time!
I recommend using the 94/95 5.0 bellhousing and the proper flywheel.. reason being is that in the future when you need a new one/if you need a new one it'll be easier to find the parts. I only rig stuff to work when I don't have the part I need or the cash to buy it!
The 11" flywheel is 164 tooth for sure and the 10" is 157. I'm not sure what tooth count the 10.5" is.. (cobra). But the only reason I'd need to find parts clutch-related is if the clutch went, and that can be replaced with a 3.8L clutch which should be easy to find, or the flywheel, which by the sounds of it isn't so easy to find... But I guess I'd have to eh?
Speaking of clutches, I've been planning on going with a stage 2 11" kit. Any opinions on this idea? Thanks
Also, I ordered some headlights... I have a feeling not many people like this style here.
Picked them up for cheap so I'll decide if I like them, and if not sell them.
If I like them I think I'll do a DRL setup, something like this
