So I'm getting closer to getting my enigne mounted up. I picked up some cheap tundra headers from ebay, and hopefully they'll fit around the steering shaft, but we'll see. If they don't, it'll be easier to work with than the cheaper metal of the stock headers. I did spoil my drivetrain immensley though. I talked to Tilton, who referred me to Aasco motorsports, and I ordered a flywheel and clutch kit from them. it's an 8lb steel flywheel with a tilton twin plate and throwout bearing extension. It's a bolt on, balanced, setup, and has a really low MOI, so should help a lot with how quick the engine revs. the whole deal weighs in at 18lbs, and cost a bit under 1600 shipped. This is the one piece that puts me way over budget, but it's also piece of mind and less guess work. I don't have unlimited access to a machine shop, so less fab work shaves weeks off the project.
