This is a great thread. Good progress so far... Keep it up man.

Gotta love those smooth running inline engines.

I have plans in the back of my head to put together an early pickup as a daily driver. You know, once the Alpine is on the road.

Yea, I could have the clutch redone, but it is cheaper and much easier to just buy one that is already redone from Autozone. The problem is with the pressure plate. It is in poor shape and is unusable as it is. I am not sure if they are serviceable or if I need to track down a new one. None of the auto parts stores lists new/rebuilt pressure plates. :(

I would shy away from AutoPwn. Might I suggest JP Tadduni LLC?

They have a place they send all of their clutches. I imagine if they can rebuild the clutch and cover for a sunbeam alpine then this will be a walk in the park. It took them about a week and I think it was about $200.

My machine shop was impressed with what they gave me back compared to what I gave them.
