No problem man... And thanks for the input guys on the clutch... Ive heard the war stories with this heavy clutch, but with the kind of power we are going to be making, I guess its part of the sacrifice we hafta make...

If it matters to anyone, I believe that bypassing the Clutch switch well render the Cruise control inoperable, as the ECU thinks the car is in neutral.

good info. illustrating the dilemma sometimes faced when modifying a car and trying to keep it as stock as possible with all the amenities.

how you tackle the problem shows how much skill you have, even for something small like this..

Aww crap. Hah i'm surprised no one called me out on this first. After thinking that I could help you come up with a plan to overcome this, I began taking a look at the TEWD. After starring at it for a long time, I realized that there are two switches on the clutch pedal. One for the starter curcuit and a separate one for the CC.

The CC (which you'd want to leave alone) is the switch with the Black-Yellow and Black-White wires going to it. It is up higher on the pedal and is a switch which disengages as soon as the clutch is pressed. Dont mess with it and CC should still work.

Well i bolted all the bell housing bolts in and motor mounts,changed 2 heater hoses with new ones,flywheel cover and bolted on the motor shock ,not sure what it is called. Bolted the motor mounts down.Then went to auto parts store to buy some more shit. I plan on putting all new hoses on so no worries.

Lookin good man... I like those mounts, look really solid!

Yea the intercooler dont move at all ,I bought 1in 1/2 x1/4 flat steel at lowes and made them up,the nose support is 1in x 1/8 flat steel ,I know its a little added weight but i figure that i dont want the IC to move around. Thanks Reign :evil2:

Looks good! How far are you from the Ohio-PA line? We could meet up at Quaker city raceway in the spring some time!
