Dude, you can buy a centerforce clutch and and the slave cylinder (which has the integrated release bearing required for the new clutch) for less than $550 (US) and $55 dollars/ hour canadien is less than half what every Ford dealer in atlanta charges! If you are going to take it to Ford, that's an excellent price on labor, they all use Chiltons Book time for each individual install so your labor 'time' is going to be the same at any ford dealer and most shops in general, reguardless of how long it'll actually take em' to do it.
Shotwell, I have a chiltons manual but I haven't read the part about clutch installation yet, I cannot believe that they would say that you can get the clutch out just by repositioning the engine/trans!? Anyone who's ever looked at this setup including myself would know better. How would you disconnect the two while they are both in the vehicle still?? That's funny. I'll be doing the Quaife/Centerforce/fidanza install with my uncle in March and I think the way we remove the engine will be decided on the fly. Basically which ever way presents itself as the easiest. As smart of guy as Terry is, I think that he, as with any genious on any subject, forgets how far ahead he is of the rest of us sometimes.
It's still great to hear his points of view on contour stuff though, he has helped me a lot in my planning the quaife install to this point and has offered to help even further as the time to install approaches.
