New build coming soon...
I found the issue tonight. Im a bit embarrassed because i know better. Looked at pilot bearing and all is well. Pulled the transmission obviously. Replaced with a spare oem slave. Same issue. Pulled transmission out just about an inch and bam! Could not spin driveshaft! Clutch is now enaging properly. Had someone under the bellhousing to inspect as i attempt to put transmission on. Slave cylinder is bottoming out before the trans is mated to the bellhousing!!! This only meant one thing. Pulled transmission out again and installed a busted input shaft into the clucth. Could not spin. Only logical thought in my mind is that pressure plate fingers, or the plate itself os protruding too far!!! Look at how i installed it and realized i did not align my floater plate straps to the raised lip portion of the pressure plate!!! This was causing the pressure plate to be about 3/4-1 in too far out! I feel like a moron, but am glad i found the issue. Ive included pictures of my stupidity! Note how the floater plate bolts are digging into the pressure plate!
Notice how the raised lip portion of the pressure plate is not where its supposed to be in correlation to the floater plate straps!
Now only one major issue. Apparently one of my flywheel "studs" is stripped. I guess ill just have to call mcleod tomorrow and order a new set! Problem should all be solved then!!!

Car is done now. Just need to do fuel pump today and figure out a way to mount my truck coils. The driver side bracket and 3rd coil are hitting my fuel line.

Those numbers are quite good. 460 torque is about right for a well done 383. OP did a great job with components selection.
The dyno you used is notoriously stingy. Reads about 8-10% low vs most other dynos in the area.

Interstingly enough, i put it on a mustang dyno today. Read almost exactly the same!
