    Go twin disc 7.25" have someone machine m20 flywheel and buy the hydro tob. Clutch is 10 spline 1 1/8 like Chevy. Clutches are cheap and it's nice and light. Very rebuild able.

      Do not remove the oil pump secondary shaft bearings unless they are damaged.  That is all.

      Also I like the new wheels.

      So no hot tank? That's no fun.

        I would hot tank it and see what happens to them.  Have you ever replaced them?  Sucks the big one.

          What size tires are you running on the 15s? I've been lokking for 225-50-15s but haven't come up with much.

            Here is a breakdown of all the summer tire and track tire options in 15" from tirerack.com. I didnt include all-season or high performance all seasons to the table.

            15tirezpsca3cfa4f.jpg

            Heaps of options in 205-50 but that would be slightly stretched on an 8" wheel

            I would like to do 225-50 but the prices are a bit stupid compared to the 205s

            The last thing I want is stretched tires and 205s would have a slight stretch but this is a 205-50 on a 15x8, very acceptable. Much better than the 215-45 on a 17x9 that I just got rid of

              The new tires i will be getting are going to be meatier and the front end is missing about 100lbs of weight. With that said, i plan on raising the rear 3/4" for better suspension geometry (as opposed to lowering the front) this had been on my to-do list for a long while now.

              Its hard to get used to how small the wheels look but they are SO much lighter and driving will be much more enjoyable

                        Probably about the same time you admit that this is a selfie

                          While not a selfie - it accurately describes my feelings on your wheel gap.

                                          The m20 has just about the same power output as a supercharged previa too
