I have the McLeod RXT twin disc clutch, billet steel flywheel, and braided steel clutch line. Expensive but practically bombproof.

I do too. Everyone always recommends what they have and when it comes to the RST/RXT it's for good reason.

I will consider that when it comes time to swapping engine blocks. Will be much easier to replace at that time. I don't have a whole lot of miles on it now so it should hold up another year.

So got a small(big) update to my future plans. The whole scope of the project has now been somewhat shifted. Last weekend on an essentially Mustang Swap and Shop page on FB. I scored an on3 Turbo kit for a little over 2,000. Includes the turbo kit AND the MAF, Pump, 47# injectors. So now I really need to decide of the block is worth it or just put forged guts in and call it good. I also will need to find manifolds as I'm running KOOKS long tube headers right now and that wasn't included in the kit.
