Update:

Been a busy month, but I did a few things. I replaced the snapped ebrake cable which was a pain in the butt! New tranny mount. Here is a pic of the new vs old:

I pressure washed the engine bay, but didnt take before and after pics like I should of.

I cleaned up the clutch and fly wheel and they didnt look like they were in good shape at all:

I think this was a McLeod, but its been so long I can't even remember.

The pressure plate had definitely seen better days.

Went to the trusty machine shop and had the flywheel turned. Hoping it is still thick enough to function properly. I can't remember if it has been resurfaced before, but I guess we will find out!

Spiffy new Spec stage 2 clutch, should be enough for my power level:

If all goes well I should bolt these up tomorrow and start dropping the motor back in the car. Wish me luck!

Exactly what headers did you use while building this? How is your access to the spark plugs with the headers on? What ended up being the issue with motor mounts and steering linkage on the driver side around the headers? Thanks, and sweet build!
