Well the clutch and flywheel
Set up I have doesn't work so I'm waiting on my RAM 1550 flywheel and RAM powergrip clutch kit to come in before I can set the motor and trans in the truck :(
Still waiting on flywheel and clutch to come in....
Got bored and set the blower on the motor for shits and gigs. Man that's sexy! Need to repaint the head unit tho

Ram flywheel, ram clutch and a few other goodies came in! I went with the ram 98793 clutch, it supposed to be rated for 600hp. I couldn't get the clutch system to operate perfectly. I ordered a Novak adjustable throw out bearing to get everything in adjustment as it should be. Link to bearing I used

Since I'm waiting on the adjustable throw out bearing to come in I moved on to another project on the truck. Installing the Walbro 255 pump

Well got the fuel pump put in. I went with an edlebrock kit that used the gss340 pump. It was a direct swap and the only modification needed was a piece of high pressure submersible fuel line. Pics of the progress

link to fuel pump kit. Not sure if this is just a walbro pump with an edelbrock name, but it was a direct swap into my oem bucket.
