well, got going on my ka-t stuff today. pulled the old motor and transmission and powerwashed the bay. clutch was nice and silky smooth. gonna be running one of thoes XTD ebay sprung 6 puck clutches. hopefully i can clutch kick the **** out of it and it wont die on me. last time it was smoking inside the cabin lol, burny clutch smells bad. tomorrow i think i will go get a bunch of new hoses and belts and crap. resurface flywheel. put sr injectors into ka rail. buy gear oil. uhh. maybe some other stuff. but mainly i need to do flywheel so i can put the other motor back on. here are some crappy pictures

heres the goon squad.

I did mine with the motor installed....makes the fabbing up the piping a pain some times. But if your going with a kit, then you'll be straight.
