Ok, Im still gathering parts for my engine swap. Its gonna be the 03 mach I motor. Im going to replace the clutch and flywheel while im at it. The mach requires an 8 bolt flywheel. I was going to use fidanza. Anyone have feed back on the Hawks or Spec aluminum flywheels?

Im also going to use a spec stage I clutch. My question is will this all bolt right up? Im still using the t-45. So I buy the clutch for the transmission (t-45) and the flywheel for the motor (8 bolt mach I) and these will go together fine?

thanks

The 99GT motor is blown. Im not gonna drop another 2v gt motor in there. The prices ive seen for a built 2v that will compare to a mildly bolted on 4v are about the same. The VT sportsman long block retails for 6895 without shipping. But I think there's so much more potential with the 4v. The frpp mach I direct replacement motor is about 5600 shipped. Its kind of expensive, but its brand new. You never really know what you're getting with a used motor (assuming i picked up an ebay motor).

I know people are gonna scoff at the price and say for the money I could rebuild the 2v with forged internals and add a blower for the same cost and make more power. But thats not a route I want to go right now. Id rather stay n/a and just throw some bolt ons at it. Cause in the end, by the time I can afford to REALLY mod the car out (years down the road), ill just sell it and pick up a used 03 cobra or somethign completely different (can you say VIPER). Not to mention, 500 rwhp sounds like alot of fun, but I think id just get into more trouble wiht it right now.
