Finally........................got parts back from the powder coater. Now I can get going again.

I tweaked the right side header to give some more room around the frame rail. I also added O2 bugs for fuel injection at a later date. Fresh ceramic coating too!





Powder coated the bellhousing



Reinstalled the clutch.............



Adjustable fork pivot................



And installed the clutch slave......

And then found out I was shipped the wrong clutch fork. Soooooo.........I wait for the right one to be delivered.

I'm changing back to a regular shifter. Of course, the needed work as it was assembled wrong. Plus the fellow I bought it from gave me the wrong 1-2 rod





Now that's set up and adjusted...............



Unfortunately, I wanted to set the engine and trans in today and that will have to wait a bit until the new fork gets here

Ended up using a different slave / bracket / fork combination. It's a sturdier set up and packaged a little tighter. This will help with the headers.





Ready to drop now.................just need a helper!

Thanks for the update and pics are always great. Neat to see the two juice clutch linkages for the difference.

Agreed on the slave.. I really like the look of the second one.. Let us know how it compares as far as pedal feel. Setup looks killer.

Yes it is Gary. I'll follow up with my thoughts on it after I get it going.
