The block looks good.......I think 22's are gonna be too small though. Your going to be breaking tires loose.

I dont mean to pick but, that clutch might be a little light for your application. The heavy duty is only good for 243 lb ft of torque. ACT offers a sprung 6 puck with a extreme plate......AI4-XTG6. That one is good for 411 tq. Just a suggestion, its your build.
