Superformance MKII, Riverside Racer 289 FIA vintage race car

[1795]

Glen,

The clutch for protruded about 5" from the back of the bell housing, it was about 10" from the centerline of the bell housing. I am using a Quicktime bell housing. The clutch is a McLeod 75213, which is sufficient for the horsepower that I am running. Was considering going with a dual disc, but having never used one previously, wanted to first learn the car, and then when it comes tie for a refreshing, to move up to a different clutch. The McLeod HTOB for a top loader is the 1400-30.

Thanks for all of the support, and looking forward to your build coming to completion. Been working on the fuel system, battery install and the fire system. Will post pictures when I get the chance.

Thanks Jim. I'm using a QT scattershield too, so good information there for me.

Cheers,

The car is in to the welder getting the roll cage installed. while the originals did not race with side protection, I would prefer some and my wife is much happier with additional protection. Should have the car back next Wednesday and on Thursday will start the engine and transmission install.

My Harrison tank arrived yesterday



Looks nice! Thanks Rick.

I also have decided to sell the original seats that came with the car, as I doubt that I will ever try to convert the car back from race. Will be posting them in the for sale section if anyone is interested. Never used.



Should have a lot to post about next week.
