Brian,
The one I'm buying has 330 lb rating , they always will take more too ! I am going to have 235 -50's in back .
Already have fiberglass front sebring fenders and sebring fiberglass quarters. I think you have the hood I want.
Looks like I will be molding my own air dam and trunk lid. My roadster will not even weigh 2000 lb wet. I am going with composite leaf springs with traction bars I will make and I am pining the pinion and adding gas shocks and panhard bar. I will be building tubular A frames for the front and coilover shocks. 3.73 limited slip 31spline 8.8 ford rear end , should get me 0 to 100 pretty fast.
Will

The project sounds Fantastic and I can't wait to hear/see the continuation of it. I suggest starting a project journal here: [forum.britishv8.org]

Read the two stickies at the top. This will help people identify your project when your writing about it and give a place online to refer your friends to. The time you spend on that will help others give good input and on top of that will make it easy to have your project included in the Newsletter.

-BMC.

Welcome to the board. Note that it might take a little time before your post shows up on the board. We look foolish when we double-post.

You can probably substitute a different clutch plate with the right spline count for the one you have. You need to know the diameter of the clutch plate. If you find one with a matching diameter and the right spines, you're done.

G force makes T5s that will take your horse power, you tell them what
gear ratios you want. Might be worth a call in your case
