Bikedads Constant Rebuild

What clutch slave setup did you use?
Is that a Grannys trans mount? Looks like yours is in the straight up bellhousing position and I was planning on using the cocked fbody bell. Just trying to figure out if I am going to be forced to use a straight up bellhousing by granny's mounts.

I'm using the stock FC clutch slave pushing the fork. Slave is mounted to the bell housing with very Heavy angle iron (no flex)





Trans mount is Grannys and my bell housing is an older style GM#3858403. My T5 is from a 91 Camaro. I believe if you used the fbody bell then you will have to do some additional cutting for the shifter. As my shifter sits right now it's straight up in center of the hole but farther forward as I had to use the front bolt holes on the subframe because of distributer. I had to cut a small part of the console surround and had a custom shift boot made by a vendor here on the forum. (Indyparts)
My shifter is the billet Pro-5.0.

Clean man, really like it!

he's using the Granny's mounts and slave setup with a straight up bellhousing(I will personally recommend http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LAK-77-150/ as it is much stronger than the Al ones, it's brand new with no play so alignment will be better, and if a clutch explodes, it's quarter inch hydroformed steel, so it might save your feet!)


I've heard of people using the angled bellhousings too, I think the T56 style trans mount works, I don't know how the shifter lines up though

[Dr1ft1ng0wns]

I'm pretty sure I'm using the angled bellhousing, as my shifter is no where near being straight up and down.

The good news is I've been gathering parts for years, so I have both the grannys t5 mount and the t56 brace. I also have both the tilted bellhousing and a "621" straight up bell. So I guess what I really need to know is which combinatiom makes the most room for the headman jeep headers?

[gadzooks]

straight up will give a little extra room since the exhaust runs under the slave, the shifter location is the biggest difference though

I installed my S5 tail lights that I got from Antirotor. One of the easiest upgrades I've done.
Wow! They really make a big difference.
(Also doesn't hurt  that they were in such great condition they almost look new)
Crappy cell phone pic.

Looks great!

the S5 tail light upgrade is a must.
my S4 lights had started to show there age, I agree WOW .

I looked all over and can't find a picture showing your hood!

I am putting a 400 smallblock in an S4 turbo 2 and making it a track bitch.  It'll have an edelbrock airgap manifold and most likely the Holley ez-efi setup on top.  The efi will get rid of the issue of the fuel sloshing around in the floats in the turns.

Are you fitting under a stock turbo 2 hood?  I figured I'd be adding a small cowl bulge on mine.

I guess I better get a picture in my Rebuild thread. LOL

I'm using an ABS CobraJet style hood scoop with a 2.5" height. I believe I purchased it from Jegs.
I cut off about 4.5" from the back of it.
The pictures show an Edelbrock cleaner but I now have a round 9" K&N 2.75" high filter.

[MPbdy]

That is a pretty smart scoop.  It is reminiscent of the turbo 2 hood.

Good to hear about the K&N.  I was planning on running something very similar if not the same.

Nice build, I think I am going to make that front diff modification tomorrow, see if it helps with my wheelhop issues.

I have an extra set of bars already pre-drilled.
You can have them for the cost of shipping if you want.

Ray cut an extra pair when he made them.

Gee Don, keep me in mind if you are just giving away Ray's handiwork.  If ilovemybike doesn't want it, let me know.  I have a feeling that modification will be needed on my car too.
