Stabbed the motor in only to come to the conclusion that the 2241s do not clear the new hyd clutch master location. Someone commented this would happen. I dont listen. So now I need new headers. I gave the old setup away. This build is gonna kill me.

Nice project, I looked at buying your car from the original owner about 6-7 years ago. Not to put a damper on your efforts, but I discovered the floor panel in the driver footwell was all bogged up......might be worth a look on your part.....

I bough this car in 2005 from a fellow Marine at the Camp Lejeune commissary lemon lot. I know every nut and bolt on it. There is nothing 'bogged' whatsoever. There is no damper on my efforts other than my 'older' age and 26 years of service that hurts me when I crawl under it.

Looks to be the same car to me.....not bagging your build, just letting you in on something the original builder (Jeff H) and I discussed....

HAHA!! I ran my HV oil pump on plastic in that car for over a decade. Never leaked a drop.

I would just be worried about it melting and then getting stuck

Bled the clutch today using a Harbor Freight vacuum bleeder. Worked really good.
