Never had my clutch apart on my 4.6 but id assume a clutch is a clutch and on my old 5.0 the proper way to put in the clutch was less then obvious for the disk ---well can be overlooked----
I b D Flat side of disk facing pressureplate
' ' '
Flywheel disk pressure plate
Not I d D
' ' '
Flywheel disk pressure plate
The little "Lip" on the disk in the center where it sticks up an inch is not supposed to fit into the hole in flywheel where the flywheel is bolted to the block is what im saying. The flat surface goes on flywheel surface and the side that sticks out an inch goes pressure plate side. I have made the mistake before but never tried running it dont remember at what point the light bulb came on but i do remember going UGH i cant believe i did that!.
Hope the diagram made sence:P
Its probably not the problem you have but hey maybe someone that has never done a clutch install can get some clarification on how to's from the post:P
Btw redneck its awesome you been keeping with this after 100s of pages nice to see. I read them all been following for a couple months now just decided to post.
I emailed Bob Hardin at hps about intake he told me 6-8 weeks and a ticket price around $795.
If this thing puts out decent power i will probably be doing the swap after long tubes are available cant do it before as my supercharger will be suffocated.
Intercooled vortech stock block long tubes ceramic coated high flow catted h pipe dynomax mufflers (hey i like em:P) Custom Cai lightning maf installed by davenport racing
dyno'd at 418 rwhp 408tq
Before Headers and high flowing h pipe install and sc i dyno'd something like 230 rwhp
No boost guage but i believe its pullied the factory h/o kit 9-10 pounds:P
Something worked really well in the combo they said its far more then they have experianced in the past with other installs.
Basically im pondering a forged 5.0 aluminum stroker or the 5.4 forged if the intake and headers work well....I want to run 14 psi and possibly methanol injection
Thoughts on the different engines?
Will longjevity be better in the 5.4 as its not a stroker?
I live in canada so gas is a big issue at 110 a litre:P will the 5.4 be much worse on gas?
I go to the track usually 1s a week in season so weight is an issue too.
Will a 5.4 4v stuff in? No intake options though right?
Will ported 2v heads flow enough under boost? they seem to now but i have not turned up the wick yet either:P
