The Traffic Baron
Hey guys, I'm continuing on my quest to be cheap in my swap and have a large pink elephant in the corner of my office I cannot ignore any longer: my future clutch.
For my swap, it is once again a 2000 LS1 and T56 being shoved into my '75 vette. The donor parts are at 83K miles and for all I know the clutch is original. Now I could go in and inspect the clutch and junk, however, I think it would be best just to replace it now while I have it all out.
Right now I plan on keeping the engine close to stock, but I have serious power goals in the future (distant future with regards to time, but not miles). I was thinking of going with a stage 3 for future proofing, but that will be overkill until I do mod for more power. The Fbody guys seem to be all over Monster clutches, but seem somewhat new to the game, so only time will tell.
So what are you guys running? I feel I should at least upgrade a little off of the stock LS1 set up.
Also, what should I have replaced?
Thanks guys.
