Do you have link for the Fore Fuel Systems?

I dug into the car today, I got as far as dropping the transmission. I am replacing the clutch, flywheel, TOB, sleeve, pilot bearing, pivot ball, quadrant and cable, adding firewall adjuster.
The intent is to get the clutch swapped out and put some miles on it to break the clutch in before putting on the supercharger so that I'll be ready to drive it up for a dyno right away when the supercharger and fuel system gets installed.


My list of parts so far:
TVS 2.3
Accufab TB
SCT3000 MAF
Level 2 Fore return kit with fuel rails
ID1000's
McLeod RXT
TOB, pilot bearing, TOB sleeve
Clutch cable, quadrant, adjuster, adjustable pivot ball
Input shaft, bearing and shim kit

A few pictures. Nothing special nobody has seen before.

It was easier than I thought it would be. Everything came loose pretty easy. The transmission bellhousing top bolts were terrible at first. I broke a swivel before realizing I needed to release the transmission support and tilt it back. Then I came in from behind with around 24" of extension and another swivel. It came right out.
I also thought the exhaust bolts would be the worst and they turned right out without a problem.
I think when I do the install I need to get the crank to stop spinning so I can properly torque the bolts down.

Also. I have the stock flywheel out. I think I am just going to either turn it or send it to McLeod. I heard you can turn it once, and you can have the friction plate replaced once. Anyone able to confirm?

For the install, I assume loctight on the flywheel, clutch, driveshaft ect?

The McLeod instructions will state where to use loctite on their supplied hardware.

Yes and yes on the flywheel and DS. Blue.

Don’t forget to order a new gasket for the pass side manifold/collector. They are reusable but an older one should be replaced.

I throw a light bead of high temp rtv on as well.

I’ve got a tool for holding/spinning the flywheel but a large flat blade or prybar on the ring gear works fine.

I don't but it won't hurt. Use a torque wrench though and make sure it's all done right.

You can make your own too. Get some flat steel plate, I used 3/16", and just use an angle grinder to cut out a piece. Then cut teeth on one end that'll mesh into the flywheel and drill holes to bolt to the block. It locks the flywheel from turning and makes life so much easier.

This thing on 22psi making 700+ yet?

I followed the recipe and it’s good!
