NICE! A t5 with that 8.8 should be perfect! btw, what ratio rear did you end up with? 3.73 or 3.55?
3.73

Looking good! Did you score a T5?
Nice! I got a little held up with selling my house and trying to work on the car in the snow. Found out that my master cylinder is leaking and after having my car sit for 2 weeks I no longer have front brakes and no paint on my firewall So instead of a clutch with this paycheck, I get to buy a new master cylinder.
Wilwood tandem is the way I'm going... its the Wilwood 260-8794.
Yep, that's the one I'm going to get. However, there is a b230ft motor available and I'm fighting the urge to not buy it. Lol.
you can always buy it and build the sheet out of it for when that B18 lets go
Start working on a few things yesterday.
Got the new sender unit in.
Realized I forgot to order a body rubber seal that goes around the neck... So now I'm trying to track that down.
Parts are trickling in for the new transmission too
Start working on some of the rubber seals on the car. Car doesn't really have any rust, but every rubber seal is shot.

Thanks,
I need to replace my seals, sitting in a box somewhere in the basement. I mounted a gas cylinder from McMaster on the lift gate, very convenient.
If you reuse your m41 clutch PP, its only going to be enough to hold 150-200 ft lbs, maybe less. going to a B21 turbo PP, or SAAB9000 PP and having you flywheel redrilled would be optimal for anything over 150ftlbs. At least thats what Ive been reading/hearing… Talk to JohnV or better yet since you're getting your Ford Disc from Yoshi, grab a PP from them also. The bolt pattern for b21 and b18 PP's are the same.
Have a picture of how you hooked it up to the bottom?
Thanks,
Used another female ball joint like at the top. I couldn't find hardware to fit it on the left side like the stock unit using inexpensive generic hardware. Had to trim them down so that the compressed length was short enough. I can get some daylight shots tomorrow if you like. I cannot remember how much it all cost but it was significantly cheaper than a direct replacement.
