Update:

After much deliberation, I decided to order a new Southbend clutch for the car. It will be a 6 puck made of Feramic material, and their own pressure plate. This setup will be good for around 800whp, so we will see what happens. 

I had sent out my flywheel April 8th with USPS and it still hasn't been delivered to the shop in Texas to get resurfaced. The package was lost as of right now, and so I am waiting to see what happens there. Gay.

The fittings I ordered have shown up, and they look so nice. The steel braided hose looks outstanding. This PTFE hose will do the job just fine. I think the silver fittings with black line will look sick.

AN Braided Stainless Steel Lines

I put the 3 fittings on the catch can to make sure they are the right angles I need, and I made the right choice. 

1 x Stainless Steel Line Straight Adaptor, -10 AN Silver

1 x AN Straight Union, -10 AN Silver

10 x PTFE Braided Stainless Steel Lines, -10 AN Black, per ft.

1 x AN Nut, -10 AN Silver

3 x Stainless Steel Line 90° Adaptor, -10 AN Silver

2 x Stainless Steel Line 60° Adaptor, -10 AN Silver

So now I am waiting for my weld-on -10 an fittings to show up and then I can have the valve covers welded with them. Excited!

Update:

The Southbend 6 puck clutch Feramic (K16093-SS-X-DMF) is here. And it looks awesome. Compared to the Spec I had, this clutch looks a bit more robust. And the weld on -AN fittings came in, so I will take the valve covers tomorrow to get welded. 

USPS still can't tell me where my old flywheel is, so I ordered a brand new one. So that will come in eventually. I will probably need some help with the clutch install. The V160 is different than any other transmission I have ever done. Using snap rings and stuff. Either way, this is the last thing I will need to do before the engine goes in the car, besides soldering some wires for the injectors. So close, so very close.
