No luck. Tore everything completely down, rebuilt and checked measurements again, but no change at all.

Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like a timing cover w/the hole for a front dipstick. I believe this hole was for the earlier small blocks, otherwise it is just an un-drilled boss there.

Yea I'm pretty much down to that point now, pulled everything back apart last night to see if anything obvious was binding up, etc. Haven't found anything yet, gonna try putting it back together and see what I get. Anyone know if the spiral lock can be reused?

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of a rebuild of my T5 and I'm coming across a strange issue: When the tailhousing is bolted to the case, and bearing retainer bolted on w/NO shims, I'm only reading .004" of endplay...seems waaaayyy too tight to me from everything I've read online/using the...

Stick with Dexron III/Mercon (regular ATF), it's been used in T5s for years with no problems (including my own). Mercon V would supposedly affect the blocking rings on the synchros in a weird way, but there's not much official documentation on this. Many people have used Mercon V and other...

Thanx for the info. Anything I need to be careful about in the meantime w/using the 4 cyl pump?

Does anyone happen to know the stock flow of the 4 cyl and 5.0 pumps? I think I've found that the 5.0 is around 95 lph, but I'm not sure abt the 4 cyl. Reason I ask is because I finally finished my 2.3 to 5.0 swap this weekend and my brother and I were discussing the fuel pump difference. I'm...

Lol, nothing wrong with keeping the humor goin ;-)

Anyone have access to carfax at the moment and could run one for me? I'd really appreciate any help

I have the upper/lower intake from a 2000 5.0 Explorer available. This has the external EGR. Upper to lower manifold bolts will be included, as well as the "5.0 V8" plaque. Looking for $125 + actual shipping from 33761. -Alex

You can definately do that with this mustang. Under the hood on the driver's side should be a black connector behind the strut tower, probably clipped on somewhere there tight. The black piece actually holds two connectors inside, a black one w/abt 6 pins and a small gray one w/just one pin. I...

Ok, so I know that the 93 2.3 N/A motor has a 105 hp peak and 135 ft/lbs torque peak, but does anyone know the RPMs at which each happens? I can't find the ratings anywhere...

Got the TC clutch in today. Pressure plate lines up with the outer holes and dowels beautifully :-). Now I can use those stock bolts I got, and as long as the ARP flywheel set is the right size I'm ready to go! So, i guess for anyone else doin the swap that might read this, Perfection flywheels...

Yep, it was that damn interlock, lol. I can see the cable below the bezel around the shifter. Apparently somewhat of a "click" is the key to knowing it's locked in. I thought I had wiggled it before to see if that was the case, but you guys were right, u really have to slam it into park. But...

Yea, the dowels came with the flywheel, and as with the bolt holes, there's 2 sets. I looked at a pic of the TC clutch in the AAP system and the holes on that pressure plate look like they'll line up w/the outers on the flywheel. I'll have the clutch tm, so I'll report what I find when I get home.

Actually I'm getting some ARP Flywheel bolts from Summit on the way (thanx RustBucket for the part number!). I'm holding onto the stock PP bolts that I pulled and I'm gonna see if a TC clutch will just line up on the outer bolt holes and that way I can use those bolts and have a better clutch...

The dowels line up perfectly with the pressure plate. They actually came w/the flywheel. It does look like there are double dowels holes though.

Got both for a n/a 2.3. Looks like the flywheel might be drilled for both n/a and turbo?

Ok, interesting new development...I pulled the pressure plate bolts from a stang in the jy. Went to go test fit them in the new flywheel...They will bolt into the outer circle of holes, but not the inner circle. And my pressure plate only aligns with the inner circle of holes. The flywheel and...

Yea, it just kicks hard when the torque converter locks up. The car shouldn't jump around or anything, u'll just feel a hard thud. I'm pretty sure the reason for that is the converter is supposed to lock when the engine and wheels are spinning at the same RPM or close to it, and it's supposed to...
