All we can say is-wow GREAT work. You could eat off that engine bay.

What clutch/flywheel set up did you go with?

Thanks! The engine compartment was painted in 2000 and has suffered some chips and scratches over the years, but overall it still looks decent.

The clutch is one of your Dual Friction units. The flywheel is a McLeod that is .400 thicker to accommodate the standard Chevy bell housing. I also installed their extended length pilot bushing.

Last week I set the intake on the engine to check hood clearances but haven't gotten around to it yet.

We're glad to see our products be part of such a clean build. The DF is a perfect clutch for this type of application!

The clutch was a no brainer! I've been pretty happy with Centerforce clutches over the years.

Thanks!

Hopefully by the end of March we'll be done with the house remodel and then I can get back to the Camino full time!

It's a Wegner Automotive system.

On Friday I put Yelcamino on the ground for the first time. I think it has a nice stance.
