Looks good so far. Good luck with build, but I have to go with everyone else, mostly because I have one, GET A DOHC. Either way though, the KAs are sweet motors, espically boosted.

not much to update, just alot of cleaning the motor and tranny and front and rear mains, timing was done like10k mi ago so its fresh and tight, but no need for boring cleaning pix, will get more when the engine bay is done or new parts aqurired. What does anyone think of spec or rps clutches? or will a centerforce or an ACT do? prob, getting one that is a 6 puck or capable of handling 400lbft tq, im gonna be thrashing the car. š

I have a Spec II+ (it is a 6-puck) in my KA-T, no problems at all from it. It is very nice for daily driving and it is good up to 325 torque which should be plenty for your build.

havenāt been out yet because i live wayyyy up north, and i plan on moving to buffalo soon, but ahhh, my car is not worthy of the track yet being as the past two years i have enjoyed the car stock (with wheels of course). But after the build is done, you might just see me out on the track. And i think a CT26 is good enough for what i want.
