All is good and your setup looks good too but I'm done with clutches and flywheels. Automatic is the way to go.
I have only been running the 1/8th mile at 6.98 being the fastest time. With the auto, I will have more consistent times.
I have a friend that is going to build me an adaptor plate that will bolt to the pump. I will then use a KA automatic bell housing and bolt that to the plate. The torque converter is a KA24DE with Powerglide guts so it will fit perfect.
I talked with some folks and they said to stick with the stock flexplate. All the V8 power guys said that it will be fine.
Pictures of the powerglide and torque converter with KA bell housing.
Also the powerglide with the bell housing cut off and the KA against it.
When this is complete, I don't think Ill be breaking anything anymore. KA24DE + Powerglide + Ford 8.8 Posi Rearend.
