I finally locked my M47 up after a year or more of spirited driving at 10 psi...
I'm actually quite happy, as I have a T5 sitting in my front yard that's been begging to be abused.
I have Dale's kit on the way and I am trying to figure out what to do about the clutch.
I plan to run this thing around 14 psi with the 15G and I am concerned about clutch slippage which is already a problem at 10 psi on a replacement (non turbo) stock clutch.
The car is an '87 245 with a '94 b230ft from a 940. The trans was the original '87 M47 and I believe the current flywheel is a 9". The trans I have is an '84 Mustang 5.0 non W/C, with a 10 spline input shaft.
~Does anyone know if the 9-1/16" Mustang 4cyl disc will work and is the stock turbo pressure plate strong enough to hold my very hopeful goal of 225-250hp.
~What about the Diesel pressure plate that has been mentioned in other threads? Is it 9" also?
~What is a good source to get the clutch parts within a couple days (out here in California)?
Thanks for your help,
Nate
