So long as everything on the bottom end was checked out and done right then it was all worth the wait. Hope this motor will last me as long if not longer then my stock motor did. I just cant wait to finish this ish. Finally having my own car again is gonna feel great.
I got the ACT TY4-HDG6. Its the one with the heavy duty pressure plate and 6 puck sprung clutch combo rated at 499ft/lbs. I was gonna go with the xtreame pressure plate but ran scared from that one when i saw what happened to your block from using it. Ill be using this clutch for now at around 350hp on an AEM F/IC till i can afford the Standalone EMS. Then ill swap out for a twin disk and go for 500hp.

To all that are watching this build, im happy to say that the motor is complete. I just spent my whole saturday getting it all together. Ruffly about 10hrs of work mostly cause i had some hassles with the head studs. The studs took up a little over 4hrs of my time today to install but everything else i just wanted to make sure to get it right the first time. Got to work my real job tomorrow and wont be off till thursday so installation of the motor wont start till then. Stay tuned cause i hope to crank over the new motor by next Saturday.
