Last piece of clutch mystery....
With Flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate bolted up, the PP tines are 2.87" from the bellhousing/TT mating plane..... So the T56 throwout bearing should also work with the factory Porsche Clutch MC....another win

The first pic is the ACT clutch mounted up, good for 500' lbs
The second pic is 55 mm Honda throttle bodies with tps, map, iac. (very small and complete throttle bodies for cheap.
I would like to say thank you to my crazed Sicilian wife Debbie for all the help on this project,

Keeping it real with the mounts...all rubber...



C5 throwout bearing works perfect, just have to re-clock it to exit the lines near the Toyota BH bottom...

They say there's a fine line between insanity and genius.

Dinsdale seems to truly enjoy straddling it.

As with Just Peachy, amazing work. This is going to be a really cool car.

Howdy Fellers. Made some progress today and here are a few pics. V 12 is installed, motor mounts lined up perfectly. 3/4" clearance between the oil pan and the cross member.
