Just a quick post to get all of the wellwishers on board!!! My transplant is almost complete. List of changes below:
1) Pace Performance L98 Shortblock
TPIS ported D113's 2" / 1.56"
TPIS ported Big Mouth / Accel Runners
LT4 HotCam
Scorpion 1.6 / 1.65 RR's

2) New ZF6 Swap (from 4+3)

3) Ram C4 conversion "push" type Clutch
LW Al. Flywheel / PP

It looks so simple when listed...... It should be running by Sunday so wish me luck. Full report to follow.

I am interested in how you like the Ram clutch.w/ the 6 speed. Does the alum flywheel come w/ the kit?

Good luck

Major setback........ Well I installed the new clutch/pp / t-o bearing and tranny to the engine before putting it in the car to avoid working from the underside. I bled the clutch last night and everything was A-OK until this morning when I noticed hyd. fluid leaking from the bellhousing. I topped off the reservoir,bled it again and it felt good for 5-6 cycles. Then it went to the floor and a large stream started again from the bellhousing.

"...yeah that Ram Conversion kit looks cool. I think I'll try that..."
self

Looks like I will be pulling the tranny..........
