So, how many of you guys are jelous that I just got my new SBC DD?

I am pretty excited BUT I cant start the tear down till Firday night.

Any idea how long it should take me considering I have only been in on 2 clutch swaps in my life?

One with a 2wd 76 1ton ford and the other on a 4wd cj7

Do you have the NV5600 or G56?

JD Dearden

Mine took awhile and everything went smoothly. How much does yours weigh mine was like 140 pounds.

D.Wiggs

140 pounds in this TINY package! That box was the most dense thing I ever had to lift! It was rediculous!

my clutch swap took 4 hours, alone. I dont recommend pulling a nv5600 by yourself. good luck wap.

What weighed 140lbs? That is up there.
Thanx.

35" 05'

with the nv it took me and gus's worker 6 hrs and thats going pretty smooth. u have to remember the 400lbs that has to come down 1st . It also took a while to get the tranny up past the 5" downpipe. good luck

The clutch in the box from SBC.

jmccart

That is crazy heavy. I wonder what the DMF, disc, & plate weight from the factory.

Thanx.

I got a G56. It came in two boxes. The hydros, crank spacer, some bolts, throw out bearin, and line up tool in one box, I dont know what it weighed, maybe 15-20 lbs. And the clutch and flywheel in the other box. On the label it said 105lbs and I believe it. I caried it about 30 yards from the garage to the truck and that was about all I wanted to carry it.

I am gonna take my factory/straight pipe exhaust off before I start takin the trans out. I got a new 5" system sittin in my kitchen waiting to be put in, and my clutch is now in my livin room. I will put the 5" system on after the trans goes back in. I also have a plate/strap comin for the freeze plug that I will do while the trans is out.

JD what trans do you have?

thanks for the help eveyone has givin me and thanks for the luck #2 and Chet

It is crazy heavy, and the fact that it is so small, makes it more difficult to handle.

At the gym I went to in college we had a couple of 100# plates. Looked just like the 45s but about twice as thick. They where bigger than the flywheel/clutch combo and honestly didnt feel as heavy.

Good thing this is goin to be bolted behind a cummins, I dont know if a lesser motor could turn it over.

D.Wiggs

Well Put!!!
