    What kind of clutch should I go with?

    Personally, I had problems with the Centerforce DF not disengaging at anything much over 6,000 rpms. Went with a Spec and saw a world of difference.

    What kind of clutch should I go with?

    A SPEC II isn't that harsh. Even a III isn't that bad to street drive for the most part. If you get alot of heat in it, then they get harsh such as after a burnout but for regular street driving they're not that bad. I never had any luck with Centerforce.

    What kind of clutch should I go with?

    Spec clutches are tough to beat. I'd go with a Stage II for your setup.

    Trying to get hot air to work on my 90 GT

    Usually when this happens the heater core needs backflushed. They get clogged full of junk.

    Clutch releases too far out

    A high pedal is better. 2" from the floor is WAY too loose. If you ever powershift your car, you'll be glad it has a high pedal. It's going to be an adjustment for you but leave it like it is, you'll get used to it. Now if it's high and slipping, that's a different story.

    Drive line shake.

    Since it's been intermittant, that throws out a component problem. When you said 70 block I was thinking someone probably installed the wrong balance flywheel and balancer since pre-82 were 28.8 imbalance. Chances are it's the balancer or it could be a clutch problem.

    Roller lifter question

    Personally, I'd stick with the Ford Lifters. They're one tough customer. That's all I've ever run in my motors. The lifters in my 331 have seen 7,800 rpms frequently since I installed them in about 2001 without missing a beat.

    Strange coolant "spew" issue

    The heater core in my '87 used to do the same thing. Take the hoses off the heater core and get a spare hose and backflush the heater core by itself in addition to flushing the rest of the system. I'll bet it's full of junk.

    one wire ebay 3g alternator

    I have a Powermaster one wire alternator on my '84. Works great. As far as the factory volt meter, I'm pretty sure their's a post on the alternator you can connect it to. I didn't hook mine up I just vaguely remember that.

    Clutch went limp...help

    9 times out of 10, a stiff cable is caused by a misrouted cable. It should run under the motor mount between the engine block and the k-member and it should be a straight shot to the clutch fork connection. Check that first.

    Piston ring end gap excessive on rebuild

    Same here, I always go wider 2nd gap because just like Thumper said, the gas trapped between the top and 2nd ring can cause the top ring to lift and leak compression. The old school said to go tighter on the top ring because it's exposed to direct combustion.
