    4.10's with a manual

    thanks for all the replies. I have a motorcycle and a bone stock explorer, so the only highway driving the car will see is 55mph for like 5 minutes on the way to the track. I think ill go with the 4.10's, just wanted to see how those of you who ran them in 5 speeds liked them.

    Flaming River or constant headache?

    so you used a manual rack, from an 79-81 and then just got the out tie rod ends for a 79-81 then just got the flange from flaming river. Is that it. What other modifications did you have to do? Thanks.

    Flaming River or constant headache?

    My power steering pump took a crap. I replaced it with a reman one, it leaked. I returned it as a defect and got another one, everything was working good till i broke the return line spout. Long story short i dont feel like replacing pumps. I am thinking of a manual rack. I will have the...

    t-5 rebuild

    i have one in my mustang, i guess its fine. Had it build with stronger gears and syncros, plus a different fifth gear ratio.

    do gears need a brake in period?

    you are suppose to put gears through heat cycles. When you get your car back, drive it for 15 minutes to get the rear warm, then shut it off and let it sit. Then take it back out to warm the gears up , then let it cool off. YOu do this like half a dozen times. All it does is put your gears...

    Converting Front Bumpers

    its not a problem with the turn signals, jsut dont try to wire 87+ sockets into the existing wiring, youll never get it, just enlarge the hole in the signal lamp to have the light fit. Its just when i did it, i didnt know that they wouldnt wire up, so i wasted 2 weeks messing with the wiring...

    Converting Front Bumpers

    need stronger tranny, want to keep t-5

    I have a Liberty T5 tranny. It has beefed up gears, syncros, blah blah. It has a .89 5th gear. It is suppose to be good to 450 FWHP. You just send your stock T5 away and they rebuild it for you with all the beefed up internals. I think you can get different gear ratios too.
