Doesn't look like I posted anything about Knoxville! I must be getting old! :D

Anyway the last piece of the puzzle arrived from Summit yesterday. New Clutch and pressure plate. Everything else is in hand.

Picture shows the Mcleod Super Street Pro V8 clucth with dual friction surfaces. Creitz Manufacturing, from Tulsa, lightweight steel flywheel. 16.5# for a V 8 flywheel in steel I would guess is light. I know it will help the revs but I am not sure how the launch will react. But I picked it up for a song so I will give it a try.

Nice! Can’t wait to help put it all in. We should be able to pull a truck engine out in a few minutes at this point :lol:

You are right with the exception of one thing. Pulling the stupid headers off the truck is a nightmare. Rather pull 3 sets of long tubes off the race car.

Rev to 5000, Dump clutch.

That's what I used to do with the dart. It sucked for consistency, so I never won many rounds in that car, but it was fun while it lasted.

Enjoy your parts and parts swapping!

When I pull the engine to do the transmission swap, I plan to paint my inner fender wells and firewall. They have always been black and that bothers me. So I had to spray cans color matched to the cars "blue" color. I had to test it out so I prepped another valve cover and primered and painted it to see what looked like. It matches very well! :D :D

Pictures also show the 3/8" aluminum spacer that Matt Deemer had made up to raise the valve cover up for clearance. I was doing a test fit for him and they are super nice. He has them listed on E-bay but he told me if you contact him directly he will sell them to .org members for @ $100. Thanks Matt!
