Its weird to see basically an exotic trans set up behind a “stock block and head” engine lol, that would be awesome in the old blue pinto behind you. The black car looks like it should move out, the Pinto not so much lol. Love the content man, not many of you 2.3 guru’s left and glad you are willing to share your knowledge with us.....no matter if its failure or success its all usable knowledge.
@@2300gearjammer im going thru all the vids ive missed for a while, nothing else to do with it snowing like dammit. 76* high yesterday and 58* at 12:00 last night then 29* at 6:00am with snow and temperature dropping. Welcome to north central NC weather lol
Sort of depends on the power level but if under 350whp I'd use a stock diameter clutch for a 2.3 and a steel flywheel. Anything approaching or over 400whp starts needing a 10.5" diameter 5.0 clutch. You can do an aluminum flywheel in that and be ok but the heavier the better for a daily driver. Now that I think about it, that tkx will probably need a 5.0 bell housing anyway
I have a Mr Gasket vgate that came with the first Doug Nash. I should hang it on the wall The only video is 2 vids before the timing video I did. It's 100% stock but I need to fix a bunch on it. I'll probably do a vid here and there with it.
@@2300gearjammer look forward to seeing more on the SVO and mild turbo 2.3 tips. I have two 86 SVO's and one does have the Stinger-Performance FMIC and other pieces and parts on it but not too sure on functionality at the moment. Emailing Shannon at Stinger to see what info they can help with so I can get it going again. Love watching your steed in the videos but you are in a whole different level of build! Let me know what the title is on that video as I did not see anything?
Thanks, Well here is a new one . I pickup a Lake Wood bell housing and a Power Master high output starter at a car show Only to find out it is a 157T . Do you think this clutch and fly wheel would work OK with a TKO or TKX ? I'm looking at the Ram #98794HDT and alum. Fly wheel . Have a great day!!!
Yeah absolutely. Stinger sells a 157T Spec flywheel for a 10.5" clutch. Ive run that in a few different setups and that's what I'll run in the pinto by the end of the year hopefully.
You need the correct swap flywheel and then just make sure the input shaft is long enough. A V8 t5 pilot diameter is too big to fit a bearing so I'd have that machined done
@@2300gearjammer Let's see if I have this correct. You have an adapter plate, a 164-tooth steel flywheel drilled for a 2.3 crank and 11" pressure plate (but using a 10.5" disc), a Lakewood Ford-style scattershield, and a Doug Nash with a GM (0.590") pilot diameter input shaft.
It's sort of weird. It drives incredibly nice but it slips a little when you take off. It needs rpm to really hold. I could see it being a bigger problem in a V8 car that actually makes torque off idle
@@gerryseamans7971 always a 5spd. I ran this car a little over 1000miles on the street for Hot Rod Drag week where you drive track to track and race. It sure would've been nicer with AC. Maybe next time.
😂 At least it fell on the side with all the shifter rails to make sure it all gets broke. I probably need to be working on talkin' that fella into faceplating #2. 👀👀

Thanks a ton. Check out the pinto videos leading up to this. That thing is going to be awful slow. Lol

@@young11984 ha well 65 the other day and cold again now. I ended up sick and the season changed 5 times since I went outside.
You are hilarious… and not just for being a crazy guy working on a 2300 turbo ( I know the feeling)
That's just to cover my sadness from being the crazy guy working on 2300s😂😆😐🙁😭
Great video, I learned a few things today!
Another awesome video, and absolutely gave even greater meaning to “a one man show”! #where’strevoranyway🤣🤣
That's how it's always been. I just added the hassle of cameras now 😂
MORE WHEELIES 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I CANT WAIT! PUMPS ME UUUUUP 💪💪💪💪💪😎
BRAAP
So I just got a TKX. In your opinion. Clutch and flywheel? 90% street use. Aluminum flywheel or steel? Clutch disc material? Thanks

which year of 2.3 do you recommend to use or do I have to find a 2.3 turbo to make good horsepower thanks Danny
Hey Danny! I start with anything 83-88 turbo and stock bore
Love the V-gate shifter, buddy had a Mr. Gasket V-gate in a 69 Boss 302. Do you have any video's on your SVO?

What trans? I need the shifter located closer to the firewall. So a toploader wshorttail shift or a tremec tkx ?
You'd have to measure whichever fits best for you but the gearing of a low 1st tkx would be better all around for a 2.3

@@2300gearjammer Great that will help me sleep tonight and I can move on with my project.!!!!!
Haha certainly. Here's the question though... How much did you give for the bell and starter.
so I paid 180.00 for bell housing and 100. for the starter.
@@gerryseamans7971 oh geez. You did great
Hey Matt, does the Canfield adapter allow plug and play use of a V8 T5 (with the appropriate pilot bearing)?
You need the correct swap flywheel and then just make sure the input shaft is long enough. A V8 t5 pilot diameter is too big to fit a bearing so I'd have that machined done

Does that clutch work well on the street?

What would you do if you were to run your car 90% on the street. Would you still us stranded
5 speed or a C4 ?

hi, we have this engine here in Brazil, could you give me your contact to clear your doubts and how to get the parts you use?
I will include all part numbers with all the videos. Stay tuned!
There's no warranty on dropped transmissions....Lol!
😂 At least it fell on the side with all the shifter rails to make sure it all gets broke. I probably need to be working on talkin' that fella into faceplating #2. 👀👀
Ain't getting cheaper!
That's a fact too.
Sell me that intake manifold
Ha it's not all it's cracked up to be. I should probably test it against a stock one since I've never done a before/after.
What throttle body are you using?
Allot of people can't drive my Capri including me witha broken foot the clutch is so stiff steeda two stage quadrant will make a man out of you 😪😪
Two different versions at the same time, yeah right. In this day and age??? Stupid stuff
Gay 👀😂😂
👀👀👀 you askin' or tellin' me. 😂
