    Show me your custom steering wheel . . .

    the lecarra doesn't have much dish, but the adapter is about 5 inches tall. also, for what it is worth, after about ten years, mine looks like hell. the varnish has peeled in places and the wood is chipping. pretty disappointing considering how much i payed for it.

    heater coolant tubes

    Good place for a mini starter?

    well, i can't take credit for that list. but it isn't rocket science. add the cougars to it...but look carefully before you start wrenchin'. they were hit or miss. also, the e and f series HAVE to be an auto trans.

    Good place for a mini starter?

    a thunderbird with a 3.8 if i remember correctly. you do realize that ford used the exact same starter in NEARLY all of their rear drive platforms from the early to late nineties right? from mustangs to the e series van...they are mostly the same.
