Glad to see everything coming together! Your intake is one of the new W2.4's that were built for 2.3 ltr applications with various changes to the entire manifold. Thanks for the props! Indy

It's unfortunate to see our rad isn't working with that Shearer manifold setup. \


Good luck with the build!

Take care,

Caleb

Is that an old style Shearer manifold? I don't recall them ever looking like that and mine definitely doesn't look like it either:

It was a custom Shearer kit purchased by the original owner, it didn't have a wastegate flange on it, the turbo has it on the hotside, like the BR kits, as shown in the picture.

the car started up tonight.

Everything is good, other than the clutch will not disengage. we bled the clutch fully (i switched back from the tilton push style to a puller exedy triple)... but it still wont fully disengage. any ideas?
