[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1504239, member: 29141"] Not a big brain twister actually. The only thing that really needs changing is just the clutch package. If it comes with a flywheel, great. If not, you can just get the one currently on the car machined down if it's still serviceable. But really, if you're putting on a KB in the future, you're going to want a "500hp kit" as you say, because you'll probably be making right around that amount. Just make sure it's a 6-bolt flywheel if you do wind up getting one included with a complete package because that's what GTs come with rather than the 8 bolts for the Cobra and Mach1 cars. New pilot bearing, new TOB, new fork, new pivot stud, might as well get a new cable too. Make sure whoever does the install uses a light film of high temp red grease in the following areas: input shaft splines, the inpute shaft sleeve, both faces of the TOB, and the cable-to-fork interface. The pivot stud should get a heavy dose of the high temp grease. Really any brand (advertised at the appropriate power level) will fit the bill and within budget. Feel free to shop around. Oh, and make sure the TOB gets a slight preload on the pressure plate. The "air gap" method is not the correct way. [/QUOTE]
