Default need your opinion

Take some picture of my swap. Don't have much time to spend on the car with the kids, but let me know if you think i'm on the right way.

I'm using the stock oil pan. drop the steering rack about 1/4" and bying type-R tie rod. but i have room to rise it again.



I'm using a pull type clutch slave. Do you think it's strong enough with the chanel.



The engine go realy back with the tunel open 1" on the driver side.




I'm using the stock miata fan with a miata racing aluminum rad (I have all the room to install it) Do you think it's ok for the V8?



Thanks

I have never seen a hydraulic pull-type slave cylinder hold up for more than a few months in a daily driven application. I have seen them work for a few seasons it a circle-track application, though.
