    WHere to get parts for my rear?

    I actually have one for sale for that price! $250 gets you a complete 8" rear out of my 65. It has the stronger 8" case out of a 1967+ car and has 3.55 gears in it (still have the 2.80s too). It's gonna need axle seals and maybe a pinion seal. It's complete though-- drum to drum. It's...

    Late model rear end in a 69?

    Your rear is 59.25" or so. The fox (87-93) mustang 8.8's are about the same (+/- 0.25") width, but are 4 lug. You can grab the rear discs off of a Mark VII and flip the caliper bracket, and get your 5 lug axles from a ranger or aerostar (can't remember pass. or driver side). You will have to...

    T-5 Clutch

    You can use the stock z-bar setup with both the early and late model belhousings. In your situation, the linkage goes where it used to go-- all the parts are the same (the pusher fork, fulcrum, and throwout bearing). I used the z-bar with the t5 bell by spacing the fulcrum 3/4". It works just...

    More rearend widths - but different this time (maybe)

    IIRC, the 4 lug fox 8.8 (87-93) are 59.xx" drum to drum. The 94-98 cars are a tad wider (1.5") and the 99" cars are even wider than that (another 1.5"). I have not verified any of that. It does seem to be very hard info to find though. As for the pinion offset, I think it's the truck...

    For those who did a T5 swap

    I went with the t5 bell and the z-bar linkage. I would like to ditch it for a hydraulic setup though. Either way (old or late bell), you may have to shorten the drivshaft (I did). There may be a difference in the flywheel sizes too. I had to replace my flywheel and clutch to the 157 tooth /...

    Can someone tell me about putting Explorer brakes on a 9" rear?

    Ultrastang has the req's on his page here: http://ultrastang.com/Ultrainfo.asp?Page_ID=4 If you have a medium bearing axle, I'd go with the mark 7 brakes. If you happen to have a big bearing one, you will have to open up the holes on the brackets a little bit (since you would have 1/2"...

    Nine Inch Pinion Angle

    I think the pinion angle is supposed to match on both sides (tranny to driveshaft, and rear end to driveshaft). I think you want to shoot for 1-3 degrees. You can get shims/angle plates to change the rear pinion angle. Lowered cars tends to need them.

    Granada swap problem

    They are the same car. You may have been looking at different years. In '80 or '81 they went with a different front suspension (fox chassis?).

    So who needs TCP?

    I do remember something from quite a while back about the Global West arms NOT working with Granada spindles. The problem, IIRC, was ball joint bind. Might be something to check out.

    T5????

    You can do it (I am not recommending it though). Forget about it if you really have 350 hp. You need a pilot bearing/bushing from a ranger (80's with a 4.0???)-- do a search over on the carbdford forums (http://www.carbdford.com/forums/). As for 1st gear being that low-- it's crap. I already...

    Blower Friendly Motor??

    Aren't the Keith Black pistons hypereutectic? Better than cast, but not as good as forged for boosted applications. For low boost, you should be fine.

    matching an intake with AFR heads

    Last time I checked, AFR doesn't make intakes, so what are you going to do? The AFR's are one of the best heads out there (better than the edelbrocks). It's all about mixing and matching correctly. Both the Edelbrock Performer RPM and the Weiand Stealth are good dual plane intakes that...

    headers for the explorer gt40 heads

    I think the 1995 explorers had the X heads (normal headers) and the 1996+ had the P heads (special headers required). There are about 2 companies that make P compatible headers for classic mustangs. One was Central Coast (CA) Mustang I think. There is some P head info in the articles on...

    Granada swap problem

    I'm pretty sure the larger diameter bore of the MC will increase pedal effort. You will notice that the non-power MC's are usually 15/16" and the power MC's are 1"-1 1/8". You will get less pedal travel with the larger bore.
