Lazy sunday... time to post some pics from the work I have done in the last weeks:
Here is the finished unterbody 90% of the unterbody protection is the original one, that was refreshed with the fluid film product
Here is a picture from rebuilding the 3rd member (It has the 2.78 ratio from my 66 Mustang, which should work very well with the small tire diameter and the T5 tranny)
Here is the rebuild rear end (i like the look of the cunifer brake lines very much)
The explorer 5.0 front dress of the engine gives my enough room (about 0.5 to 0.75 inch) in the 74 mustang to use the radiator at the stock position (I will use an electric fan in front of the radiator)
And here is the power steering pump and the alternator mooked up. The explorer engine front forces me to put the alternator more beside the engine than in front of the engine... but i guess it will work. I need to to further bracing on the pump and alternator and and the tensioner will be on the pump side.
The silicon hoses are ordered, but i need to order stainless steel pipe to finish the connecting pipes inbetween. I also need to put a sensor bung into the lower hose/connecting pipe to have a thermo switch for the e-fan.
I removed the brake calipers to rebuild them, but at the moment I' not sure if I can remove the pistons... they are stuck. Time and WD40 will perhaps help.
If i can't reuse them I'm thinking about doing the 5 lug swap, then my wheel problem whould also be solved.
But at the moment I whould be happy to reuse the calipers because I have everything here...
