If you have the budget for it, get some aftermarket heads! (And a cam that matches.) Changing the intake later is cake.
Anyhow in respect to your OP, Lethal seems to have it pretty much covered.
Some may say you need a dyno tune, but if you can get your hands on a Cobra ECU a pair of...
If you want to look at it like that in the amount of time I've owned a car with a t5 I've rebuilt it 3x but my friend with a 3650 just only recently smoked a synchro. (He bought his 02 GT a month after I got my 95, and put way more mileage/passes on his car too.)
But stories like that don't...
3650 is much stronger then a T5. But like you said the 1 piece bell is a huge PITA is you have to pull the transmission, specially with long tubes.
Depending on what you need you could go Gforce, TKO, T56, etc.
Actually got to drive it. :D Need to get a update posted, but spending all weekend R&Ring transmission on a 96 GT, and rebuilding the entire front suspension on it the too.
Hopefully Tuesday my body work friend can help me get the fenders/hood/bumper on and lined up strait so I can go get it...
You can buy the new headlight sockets at just about any parts store, I went ahead and replaced both. Broke the driverside one, and had to extend the passenger side (part of hiding the wires) so might as well replace it with a new clip that isn't old/brittle.
Speaking of airbag lights, that is...
After sleeping on this, I got to thinking about my ever shrinking list of things to do. One of which was to get the headlights working. (I ran over one of the connectors effectively shattering it into a million pieces.) Well of course while I was pondering this I got to thinking about the...
I actually didn't have to touch anything to do with the starter/fuse box harness, most of the wires you have to stretch come from the computer harness on the passenger side.
I tore the trunk apart today and found the keyless entry module. (Also put new batteries in the remote today the...
I have been testing this in the start position. There is only a certain pin on the start circuit that gets power when the key is in that position. Now weather or not this circuit goes to the back of the car I'm not sure, but per the Ford diagram it does go through both the keyless and...
Finally got the fuel clip I needed. So I was able to start the car and run it for a bit, ended up having a leak because the thermostat wasn't in right. (It slid down, what I get for rushing installing it.)
So today I was able to pick up another t-stat gasket and run it longer. Got the timing...
The balancer has a keyway so it is always installed properly timing wise.
Do on the other hand make sure you have the proper tools, there are 2 specific tools to both remove and install it.
I finally got this in the mail today. Just wanted to confirm for future searches that this was the correct fitting needed for the return line. (Because this was a huge PITA for me!)
Nope I missed that starter relay, but there it is staring me in the face when I look at my fuse box layout again in the book. /facepalm/
I have a extra relay too, I'll swap it in then check what you suggest if that doesn't solve the problem.
If you follow the diagram I started with the switch and am working my way to the starter.
On the ignition switch side I've stopped at the keyless/anti-theft modules. (Everything checks out good before that.) On the opposite side I've checked the fuses and the car is a 5spd.
Which puts me...
I am tracking down a no start issue on my 94. (Via the key, when I jump the starter solenoid the car turns over.)
Anyhow I am following this diagram. I've tested everything up to the anti-theft and keyless entry modules. I was wondering where these are located, and any tips on testing them...
Cool good luck. :D This thread helps give me some much needed motivation by seeing how far I've come along. Great for when I hit some hard times on the project.
Hopefully it will do the same for you. :nice:
Been awhile since I've done a update, the car is almost ready to start. (Seems like I've been saying that for awhile now...)
Here is the pic of the engine bay now, most everything has been hid or routed as cleanly as possible.
Only issues I currently have is locating the plastic fuel clip...
