Been delayed in the 406 build. Due to a mistake last year, coupled with this years debt, I owe the IRS a ton and it doesn's look like I can dyno the 406. Gonna drop it in, tune the best I can and drive the hell out of it this summer. Maybe a chassis dyno come August. So, the Hays 11" Borg & Beck clutch is in and the rebuilt ST-10 attached. Hayes tech said long style throw out bearing with B & Beck. Email tech said long...paper work with clutch said long....NOT!!! Only had 3/16" clearance between clutch fingers & trans which is not enough. The high performance standard throw out gives 3/8" clearance which is recomended in their paper work. Here she is ready to drop in and VAROOOM!!!!

Well the good news is, it should be lots of fun this summer playing around with it. If it runs like it looks, you will be well pleased. Keep the pics coming and let us know how it runs when it gets home.
