Sounds good to me, just let me know.I figure with inflation and all they are probably worth about $1348
let me pull it and look it over, no guarantees but I am happy if you pay shipping and it goes to a good home.

Lol, I appreciate that.I'm glad that you're happy with the results after all of the set backs and four letter words.
I agree. The Zf5 shifts a lot nicer than the 4 speedPersonally, I have always preferred the way that the ZF5 shifts over any of the 4 speeds that I've driven. I have now pulled two 4 speeds out and replaced them with a ZF5 (in my own trucks). I don't regret it one bit.
Exactly. Very little information on this clutch. It is supposed to exceed the clamping power of a factory clutch. We will see on the dyno. Im going with it on this version of the build because I’m using all parts I already have in my garage for junkyard engine build dos while I organize and prepare for a future engine that will be a turbo block and rods / the works. When this clutch gets smoked a south bend is going in.Just wondering how you came to this clutch kit versus say something from South Bend? I'm interested to see how it holds as well, just wondering if you know who the manufacturer of the Summit clutch kits is. I see it has a one year warranty: at least if you smoke it on the dyno they should give you another one
Nice work!! Got a PN for that unit? I'd love to see an installed picture too if you get a minute. Great scenery too!Got a great deal on an "open box" Viair onboard air compressor, almost 50% off for the "100% duty cycle" rated version. Was going to mount it under the truck.. but Viair's documentation says it is "weather resistant, not water/submersion proof" (even if you relocate the intake above water level). Living on the TX gulf coast there has been more than one time I've waided through water up to the frame rails after a Hurricane/Tropical Storm. So I decided to mount it in front of the passenger wheel well in the bed, it's skinny enough it doesn't intrude into the middle, I can still carry full sheets of plywood flat in the bed.
Broke out the 3D printer and made mounts out of ABS plastic to attach the compressor to the top of the tank and to mount a couple two post bus bars. Its now a nice compact unit. Viair also offers a fan to help keep it cool under heavy use... for $80 they send you a plate with a tinsy fan in it, no ducting, just blows toward the motor. So I 3D printed a fan shroud and bought a high pressure, high volume fan and built a much better one for less than $20. (that's the black thing in the middle of the motor covering the armature area). For grins I also mounted a junk fan on the cylinder head... I can't leave stuff alone, I have to "improve" it
Not in the picture... I also made a cover for the positive bus bar terminals to prevent accidental short circuits.

It is the Viair 10007, found an open box on Amazon and jumped on it.Nice work!! Got a PN for that unit? I'd love to see an installed picture too if you get a minute. Great scenery too!
