Agreed. After the tranny and clutch are done, my next project is the center mount set up. I am already collecting parts :D I am hoping the nv is just in need of bearings and synchros. I don't think it was ever a tow pig but it was not treated well when it was younger I know that for sure.

That much? Wow I really need to get moving on getting one modified. I will have to start talking to local machine shops. As far as modifications, did you just dish out the cavities in the ring to create a faster injection event? I am just using the 6.2 for mock up purposes, some do have...

Haha I will try to make it look good. I have a 6.2 motor that I got from a junkyard a year ago which I am going to use to mock it up so I can take my time and only have my truck down for a short time to install it. Speaking of that, 6.2 heads should have the same exhaust exit angle right? I know...

Im hoping with the low miles the hard parts are still good. The truck only has 107k, I bought it when it had 93k. It was abused when it was younger but I am hoping it has gotten that bad yet. Good luck with the studs! I put them in mine a while back and I have hit 25 psi on occasion with the...

I think I am gonna have to head on down your way to see this thing someday!! It has been a long time since I talked to you, are you still doing any work with modified camrings? Oh and btw, I may be planning to imitate your set up with my own spin, starting to assemble the parts now :hihi:

Well it whines, rattles and carries on a good bit at low rpms, and I think this bad clutch has only made it worse. The input shaft had some play in it last time I had the tranny out. It doesn't shift smooth either. I figured while I am replacing the clutch I might as well do the transmission.

Ok guys I bit the bullet.... I decided on the Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch. I decided I am going to keep my flywheel from Advance, as I figure most new flywheels are made overseas anyway. I could have purchased the Phoenix friction stock kit for much less, or any other clutch for that...

Where do you see that ferm? I downloaded the excel file with the catalog of all their clutches and they only offer two clutches for the 92 6.5, one which says "stock replacement" and says stock for hp and torque and then one kevlar clutch rated at 375 hp and 750 torque.

Thats good to know ak, that is a big part of my consideration. Ferm you bring up a good point. Although the CF is a dual friction whereas the $400 SBC is the "stock" replacement. Here is my question, the SBC $400 clutch says its rated for stock hp and torque, and so is every other clutch...

Ok guys update: I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a gentleman named Bill from Phoenix Friction. Extremely nice guy. He was genuinely concerned about my clutch problems and had a wealth of info on how their clutch discs are made. He seems to think that either my flywheel or clutch set is...

Oh ok, that is good to know ak, I am a little hesitant like you said about one of those clutches behind a 6.5. I have gotten in contact with a guy from CF so we will see what he says. What I like about Phoenix Friction is that it says they have been doing fleet work for companies like UPS and...

I know what you mean schiker, I like the slave from Advance too, although the one from napa is nice as well. The one from napa is plastic, while the one from advance is metal. Same deal with the master, although the plastic one from napa is made in the usa while the metal one from Advance I...

I will have to check it out. How is the pedal feel on the NAPA clutch?

You are right John I looked at Valair and they only offer clutches for the ZF6. I couldn't seem to find the clutch kit on napa for 240, their solid flywheel one was 215 and only one grade. They had a Ram clutch for a 92 but it was not a sprung hub disk so I am assuming it was for DMF. I am a...

schiker, it seems in the picture there are weights but it could just be a file photo too. I can find Zoom clutches but I am having a hard time finding Luk clutches, it seems like their stuff is mixed in with other peoples kits, can someone point me in the direction of where to find a full luk...

treegump, I know that south bend would be the ideal solution, it is just a little out of my price range. If it was something more gutsy than a 6.5, I would probably invest in one. jrsavoie, I was thinking about GM clutches too, but I read somewhere they were repackaged luk clutches at a higher...

Hey all! I have been MIA from this site for quite some time now. A lot of things have changed with regards to the truck since the last I posted on here but thats for another time. One thing that hasn't changed is my annoying clutch. I just read through all of the clutch threads in here and...

Very nice numbers 6.5L! Considering how relatively stock your set up is those are very impressive numbers. Are your injectors running standard nozzles? Next dyno run, PLEASE record it if possible! :D The number of 6.5 dyno runs on youtube is downright pitiful. I keep saying this but...

Thanks Mike! Great work! I would say there is probably enough massage room, especially since we would have to form the ends of the bbc header into the tall narrow rectangle shape like youmentioned. Now that I know they are close, I really wanna buy a set just to see.

The HY35 was the exact turbo I had in mind too. Not too far off specs wise from a hx 35 but with a 9cm housing I think it would be just right for twins on a 6.5 that has enough fuel running through it. I will be on the hunt for some this summer. After the axle swap this will be my next project...
