What is the reason for 2 clutch packs?

@pmieras2328 Ай бұрын

@@Jeff-qn3cd from what I understand it's a way to get better foot feel and holding power over one clutch with heavier fingers. With the HP output of the motor, dual clutch will have more overall surface area and should hold good and not get a leg workout while at it. At least that's what I understand it to do. I could be way off though. Lol

Sounds like a great platform. I originally wanted to do a Ford powerplant, but since I was starting from a blank slate I went LS based for various reasons. I wanted a strong platform to build upon and didn't want to be left wanting more in the future.

@russellesimonetta9071 3 ай бұрын

I think your thinking things through is great. It,s like the old adage,, make haste slowly! You,re doing excellent work. The only thing about the building of these cars is the use of silicon to seal panel gaps. There is an aviation epoxy,, I can,t remember the name of it, but it,s black, structural and is for bonding dissimilar materials. Silicon has a life of what,, ten years?? Using that black adhesive would last the life of the vehicle. tighten up the structure too!

@pmieras2328 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comments, feedback and tips. I thought about alternatives for sealing panel gaps. So far, I've been using it for what seems like secondary seal along rivet joints. There are a few gaps that I haven't addressed yet that I may use something other than the GE silicon for. We'll see when I get there.

@russellesimonetta9071 3 ай бұрын

Uhh, I saw a build where the outside panel on the driver side foot well was left off until everything was finalized with all the stuff that goes on in that area.

Most cobra builders try to ignore " the fact" that a little 289 with skinny ryres was faster to 70 mph than a 450 big block it was also a " much better handling car" think of it a different way a o ra is slightly smaller than a mazda miata( yes really) mine has a 370hp nissan v8 that will rev to 8000 rpm 6 speed manual 2200 lbs 0-60 in one gear just like the original, great build keep up the enthusiasm

@pmieras2328 3 ай бұрын

Thanks. I originally wanted to build a Ford motor. I grew up a Ford guy. I started with a blank slate and priced the build for small block Ford's. It was a no brainer to do a LS motor. I was able to build the motor for a fraction of the cost of a high HP Ford. Since I was starting from scratch, cost was negligible from stockish to high HP. Plus it's lighter (approx 45lbs) than small block ford.

I'm not sure. I've read that some people have done it I just don't know the long term durability of the coating. I do know with sand blasting, which is what cerakote recommends, you get max benefit. If my blasting setup was better, I think the process would be less of a headache.
