Drivetrain Tech / Clutch Engagement Pedal Height Problem
My clutch disengages when depressing the pedal only about 2-3" on my '87 TC and hate it:mad:. I tried a new clutch assy. and got the same thing so I've pulled the trans. out and wondering if it's because someone put an 1/8" washer under the clutch fork pivot ball, or is supposed to be there? :dunno:
Any advice to correct this condition would be greatly appreciated.

Engine Tech / Just Think It Through
I looked into the swap also, decided a ported, chambered & unshrouded cast iron head with roller cam and hi-flow s.s. valves would cost less, flow as well, and sever-duty exhaust valves were available to allow LPG, CNG or other gaseous fuels(thinking into future and LPG is $1.50 a gal./105 octane) and because I'm cranking the air flow/boost way up I wouldn't have to worry about melting down the chambers if I accidently ran to lean tweaking the AFR, or encountered fuel system issue  'cause that's what happens in fast order to an aluminum head. Resulting in the conclusion that more power is safely attainable from a 2-valve iron head, just doesn't have the WOW! effect when you pop the hood.  Currently there's one already converted on eBay now for $650, but there's more to it than just converting the head.
